I’m feeling guilty..

Why do I feel so guilty to have my first kid free night? Both my kiddos are staying with they dad and grandma for the night and I decided to go hang out with some friends tn but as I’m getting ready I can’t help but feel guilty.. why? They’re both in good hands with trusted family.

i’ve been told that’s just your motherly instinct. i felt terrible when i left my baby with my brother & his wife for a few hours so me & my partner could have some time together. my baby absolutely loved it & adores his uncle & aunt but i was worried the whole time! my SIL said it never goes away, gets easier but it’s just a motherly instinct to worry.

I literally cried to my Uber driver about how bad of a mother I was for taking one night in 2 years to go out🤣🤣🤣

Give it some time. It takes adjustment period to feel ok with this. But eventually it will get better 🫶🏻

You are a good mother knowing that your kid need you and you care for their needs . As a mom you need time for yourself taking care of your mind and body you are able to take care of others.

I dunno. I don’t 💁🏻‍♀️😂 My single gfs don’t, every fortnight when the kids are w the BD for the weekend. I look forward to my Friday nights out. Every Friday. I don’t have any guilt. My son is only at home w hubby for 2hrs before he needs to sleep, and then he doesn’t wake till morning. So it doesn’t matter if I come home at 11 or 2, I still wake up at 9 when he wakes the next day. In your case, the kids aren’t even home to wake up to. Just enjoy it. We’re laughing eating drinking chatting dancing, we don’t have time to miss the kids when out. Getting ready brings me so much excitement and Adrenalin.
