Anyone left their little one yet?

Has anyone left their little one for a day/night yet? We have a wedding coming up next month for our very close friends and planning on leaving our little with my mum for the day / night, as we just know it will be too much taking her with us (mostly for her tbh, she gets quite easily overwhelmed at the moment) but I am absolutely dreading it and feel terrible!
She’ll be almost 7 months by the time the wedding comes round.

They are very close friends, My husband is going to be best man and the venue is about an hour away, which is why we are likely staying.

Just wondering if anyone else has done this yet and how they found it/ any advice?

I left my daughter with my mom for two days ( due to me being re-admitted into the hospital) when she was just two weeks old. I could see her on the cameras in our home though. It did not make it easier.


My mother also watched her for us overnight for our anniversary ( she was 3 months). Right now, my mother is the only person I trust to leave her with. We haven’t had our daughter go outside our household to stay with anyone ( she’s 4 months almost 5 months) yet.

I’ll say if you’re comfortable do what works for you both! If you’re able to have cameras, and or be able to video as often as you like that’s great.

I personally will never tell a parent to do and not to do. I will always say make sure the babies are safe!

religious and atheists, can you be friends with someone who doesn't share your beliefs, but isn't trying to make you think the same way as them either?

1. yes I can, as long as we don't talk about it
2. yes I can, and I love to debate about religion politely and respectfully
3. nope, my beliefs and world vision are more important to me
4. no, I don't like to surround myself with people who think differently

how to deal with childless bsf giving unsolicited advice

I'm not confrontational nor conflictive at all, I hate to put boundaries as well. If it is for my baby is easy, but for me isn't.
My bsf is in a total different stage of life, and I don't know if it's bc I'm a young mom (we are both 22), but she's always giving me tips and advice of how to take care of my baby. She babysitted a 6mo ONCE and she thinks she knows more than me. I know she probably doesn't have bad intentions, and just want to help, but I'm so done with it.
Yesterday she said I need more time out with girlfriends, and that I should leave my baby (6 months) with his dad and go out for a drink. Again, I know she had good intentions, but 1. I get awfully anxious when I've been apart from my baby. 2. he co-sleeps with me, and will only fall asleep with my boob. 3. I think she's right about seeing my friends more, and getting out, but I'd love to be able to do so with my baby. He's so calm and social, and am of my friend love him and like to spend time with us, no one had asked me to leave him at home.
What should I do????

feeling so lonely

I feel so lonely these days. I’m a little over 3 weeks PP and I can’t shake the overwhelming anxiety. It’s starting to feel like depression, I don’t feel like myself. I cry as soon as the sun goes down and some times through the night. But I’m not even always sure why? I love my baby so much. I don’t dread being with her or anything, I just feel so overwhelmed. My husband is amazing and he’s my best friend , so he’s not the issue. I just have no one else to talk to or relate to. I’m up all night …

Lowest time of my life

I am going through the lowest time of my life and I feel very sad because no one is there for me, not even my so called husband. I cry everyday, wipe my tears and keep going because I refuse to be depressed or defeated. This is a phase and it shall pass.

Feeling confused

I see a lot of women on here looking for text buddies. A lot of them are wanting to have deep meaningful connections through texting alone and I don’t understand it. How can you actually connect with anyone and meet anyone in the area if everyone wants to stay glued to their phones? I want friends so bad but I keep getting rejected and feeling like I’m awkward and stupid for trying to meet up with people and hang out. Like why does no one want to hang out? I’ve had some women message me in my area saying “ hey we don’t live far from each other” and I’ll normally say” great we should hang out” and then they either block me, completely ignore me or act like it’s strange and I don’t get it. If there are any moms in Franklin county who actually want to meet up and hang out I’m always down and I won’t make you feel weird or stupid for just wanting friends
