Mother Guilt or Another First

Apr 30, 2007 11:04

We still haven't brought ourselves to do a date night. To tell you the truth, we haven't even been to a restaurant together with koliko since this funny incident when he was a mere six months old ( Read more... )

Why can't you leave him to have a "date" night? Why are you so dismissive of your pleasure? ISn't it important for you to be happy and fulfilled--in all regards--so that he has a happy Mom?

Not sure how to answer best. It's just the way I am, Tan'. It's what I believe - strong attachment between me and my son. I already battle going to work daily (okay, three days a week-) - I will have guilt over it for the rest of my life. It's how I am. And I am by no means unhappy. I guess that's what matters :)

oh, give yourself a break. you are leaving him with his grandmother not some nanny. he is building a relationship with a relative - it's good for him.

i wish George had a relationship like that with someone who lives less than a couple of hundred miles away. i would like to go out for a date night, and let me tell you, I won't be feeling guilty for one single moment.

last time when I was out with girlfriends I didn't even call home to see how everyone is doing since I knew they are probably driving James crazy. мать/жена ехидна >:)

one significant difference between us: you stay at home, I work. koliko already has a great relationship with his grandma thanks to me leaving him at 16 weeks to go work full-time. No worries there.

I am sorry I was insensitive.
We obviously have different views on how much time a child of 1+ years of age needs with his/her Mom.
I feel life you've got the perfect deal, while you probably think that I do.

Nah! You're cool.

Actually, our views are not that different.

something like that :)
