Am I a bad mom?
My husband took over for a long weekend and I went to visit an old friend a few states away. Three nights, no bedtime routine and no one calling my name every 4 minutes. My daughter is 6 and I love her to death but I am going to be honest, although I missed her during the trip. I didnt keep my mind at her like I usually do. Shes my little angel and everything I do, I do for her but for the first time since she was born maybe, I felt relieved somehow because for a weekend I got to be how I was before being a mom.
Sleeping in and eating whenever I wanted is something I havent done in a while. I was playing on my phone at midnight with no alarm set and it felt good. I came home lighter, more patient and way more present than I had been in months. She ran to the door when I got back and it was the best hug. Have you ever had this sort of experience before, feeling the guilt of not missing your child for a mini trip. Hate to even put it this way...
