When this post publishes, I will be getting ready for some fun adult time with Papa Bear. He is talking me to a local winery that makes my ALL TIME FAVORITE wine. I am all sorts of excited! BUT, and this is a big but, I am terrified at the same time!
Why am I terrified, scared, anxious, nervous?
Well, obviously Baby Bear can't go with us. Grandma (my MIL) happens to have the day off and is going to watch her. We asked her thinking they would just chill out here and have some fun. We get nervous when we leave Baby Bear with her and they are staying here. Which is the reason that our two dates have covered after Baby Bear goes to bed. Well apparently Grandma (who's driving scares me) is taking her out to lunch and then on yet another play date. I am happy because I know that Baby Bear will have fun. But to be honest I just do not Grandma with her! I know you think I am awful, she is her Grandma and would never intentionally let anything happen. But I still worry! Plus the fact that she has a complete disregard for naps and bedtime just pisses me off! All of this is set up right around nap time. I am honestly figuring the will only get to nap in the car, which means cranky toddler that evening. YAY!
I know that if Papa Bear and I ever want to do anything normal together I have to get used to this and just suck it up. But do you guys realize that I haven't really been away from Baby Bear (unless she was sleeping) for mire than a few minutes since she was three months old. I know you guys think I am crazy, but its true! If anything happens to her tomorrow I just might kill someone. Lol.
With all of that being said, I am really looking forward to some alone time with the man I love more than anything, and trying something new! When he mentioned doing a tour and tasting at the winery I about flipped. Then tomorrow we have some family fun planned that I am pretty excited about!
So... Am I completely crazy for having these feelings and not trusting my MIL with her?
HA! You aren't crazy! Sloan will NEVER be with my MIL!
ReplyDeleteYou are not crazy, but a momma who loves her child with all of her heart. It's a learning journey for us too as we parent. But I, like you, have some issues with some family members watching W so I understand. I guess it's a fine line between letting go and trusting and on the other hand trusting our guts. But once you are on your date, relax and have fun. Check in when you feel necessary if that helps!
ReplyDeleteNo you're not crazy at all. I don't trust many ppl with my kids. When my MIL comes to visit she always offers to babysit so John and I can go out. We always say no.
ReplyDeleteYou are not the slightest bit crazy my dear and I know exactly what you mean- Kelsey just turned two and last weekend was the first time Andrew and I went away overnight and I had a very tough time with that. You deserve to enjoy yourself and whatever happens as far as naptime, try hard not to let it ruin the good time you are bound to have!! xoxo
ReplyDeleteTotally normal hon....it's SOOO hard to let go of our control when it comes to our babies. After all, they are our heart and soul...even though things might not get done the way you'd like, embrace the chance to get away and come back refreshed. You deserve a break and some fun time with your man!
ReplyDeleteOkay No. 1 - LOVE your new design. So adorable.
ReplyDeleteNo. 2 - You are NOT crazy for feeling this way. I have severe trust issues with Dav. The ONLY person that is allowed to drive him around (without me or Michael) is my Mom or Dad. Michael's mother is just silly and not half with it. She gets focused on pedestrians more than driving and operating the vehicle properly. And, they think just because they have raised their children, means they are are just perfect. YEA RIGHT! But, my parents are the ONLY people that Daven has ever stayed with. And, him going to Preschool Wednesday....we'll we will not really describe the emotions.
I do hope the winery is amazing. What a romantic evening for you two. Just say a little prayer for her and and I will too. And, buy some wine, you may need it. LOL, i'm just joking! <3
