Mama and her three goofballs
After I got over that initial new mom panic of thinking that *I* was the one who had to be with my baby at all times, I stopped having guilt over leaving my kids.
I could go for a girls’ night out or to go get my hair done or on a date night with Hubs and not feel bad.
The kids love whoever I would leave them with.
And I am a better mom when I get a break. I get to relax and come back as not the crazy screaming mama.
Last year at this time, I even wrote about how it was okay to not feel guilt when you leave your child. It’s normal to need a break every once in a while.
But now, I’m headed out of town without Hubs and the kids and I feel awful.
I’ll miss soccer practices, the first soccer games of the new season, a birthday party for a friend of my 3 year-old, and the homework project from hell.
Okay, I really won’t miss any of that stuff: Hubs can take his turn at those parenting responsibilities. And I suck as a soccer mom anyway.
But, my 5 year-old is going through extreme separation anxiety. He never went through this before. My 7 year-old is mortified if I walk him into school and my 3 year-old practically leaps out of the van at preschool drop-off time. I prefer to think that they feel secure and happy over that they are ready to get away from me. So, this is something new.
But, this has been a really rough school year for my kindergartener.
Though his new school is better for him, we went through several days like this:
I’d walk him into the school and say goodbye in the lobby and watch him walk down the hallway to his teacher, who waits outside of the classroom for the students.
Or, that’s how it was supposed to go.
Instead, I’d walk him in and he’d cling to me and sob.
One of the TAs told him that he could wave to me once he got to his class and he’d see that I was right here.
What he would do is to take two steps and then turn around and wave, tears streaming down his little face. Repeat all the way down the hall.
He’d get to his teacher and collapse against her and tell her “I’m never going to see my mommy again!”
It took every. single. ounce. of my willpower not to go snatch him up and tell him it was okay to stay home with me.
And now I’m leaving him for four sleeps.
I wonder if I should send a bottle of wine in to his teacher.
Really, I know he’ll be fine. And that I’ll have a blast on my trip. But, I still have mom guilt.
Added to the mom guilt: that I’m really not worried how the other two will do without me for a few days.
I just can’t win.
Do you feel guilty when you spend time away from your kids?

Oh Shell, that is really difficult. I am with you on the time apart usually being good for everyone, especially Moms, but it’s tough when there has been a particularly rough patch for one. Regardless though, you know you are leaving him in loving, capable hands and that he’ll be fine. He might even surprise you and do awesome without you there. Mine tend to cut back on any problems when I am away, they always reserve the extra challenges for me because I’m so awesome.
Have a great time and trust that your husband has totally got this. I usually feel most badly for my husband, mixed with a good portion of oh thank Jesus that he’s getting to see how this all goes down for a little while and I am outta here! Good luck and have fun!

It was kind of nice to have my husband have to see what it’s like to do it all.
My boys stayed home with me today, though. I was a softie.
I tend to fluctuate depending on how long I’ll be gone, how long it’s been since I last left them, and yes, whether one of them is having serious separation anxieties. It’s really tough, isn’t it? We moms know how to find guilt around every corner and in each nook and cranny of our lives.
I hope you can push that guilt into the back burner of your brain and enjoy the time away!
Jessica@Team Rasler recently posted..Thoughts on “The Help”
That’s true- it really does depend on how long I’m going or how long it’s been since I’ve been gone.
He definitely missed his mama. Broke my heart!
That is tough!
I feel sad when I first leave, and have little pangs while I’m away. I think that the much needed {and deserved} breaks are worth it though… maybe.
Jenny recently posted..A Racism Double Standard
I felt horrible when my husband would tell me the things my son was saying.
That’s hard your five-year-old is going through that. But I think it’s great you’re getting away. I think having a break makes us better moms. This is only in theory of course, as I haven’t actually been away myself.
But hoping to! I love the photo of you all, btw. 
Grumpy Grateful Mom recently posted..Good News! Drinks on Me
It was a much-needed break!
Getting a break is a good thing. We all need that sometimes.
My daughter went through a separation anxiety phase. All I can say is that it doesn’t last forever. I am sure he will have fun doing things with Daddy that they don’t usually get to do (because don’t dads always do that when mom is away?) and even though he will miss you, he will see that it is okay, and you will come back.
Tracie recently posted..I Knew There Was Something Wrong When…
I don’t think my husband is even aware that there are rules in our house.
I don’t spend nearly enough time away from my kids…my husband actually makes me feel a bit guilty when I want to go out (by myself) without them sometimes. But I have to imagine it would be difficult with your little one going thru separation anxiety! I am worried that by not spending time away from my kids they are going to have BAD separation anxiety. Especially my littlest (1 year old) who has barely been away from me. UGH! But just try and enjoy your time, and know that your vacation is good for both you AND the kiddos.

Raw Thoughts and Feelings recently posted..Unconventional Theory
I completely feel ya! I no longer feel guilt about leaving my son (hurray!) but I’ve recently started working out again right after work. Essentially, this puts me at the daycare at 5pm instead of 4pm and as someone who still struggles with the guilt of being a working mom, the guilt of leaving him there an extra hour really puts me in a chokehold. I do it though because I ultimately know a healthy mom who is away an extra hour is better than an unhealthy one that gets him an hour early. But everyday it’s a struggle.

Oh, goodness, YES! Lately, the twins have been going through separation anxiety (again). They fall to pieces when I leave for work. It’s a pretty shitty way to start the day…peeling the kids off my leg, watching them fall on the floor crying, while I drive away to a job I’d love to quit.
Melissa recently posted..System Re-boot
I have never been out of town without my husband, and we just had one night away without the kids last week. I didn’t feel guilty because I was so relieved to get away, but then my daughter woke at 4 am, and I felt bad for the sitter, and for my daughter. I also went to my mother-on-law’s to watch the royal wedding, and I did not feel guilty at all for that. But, we’re only talking about one day snipits. Everything will be fine while you are away. You have to believe that, and have a good time.

Bubby has started to really cling to me this school year. It is so hard to cope with. Worse thing is, there has been a few rare occasions where Hubby has to take Bubby to school. No issues what so ever, Bubby does exactly what he is supposed to do. No anxiety for Bubby, no anxiety for dad. No joke.
Here’s hoping that his few days without Mom go much better than he leads you to believe. ((((Shell))))

Yes, yes I do feel guilty (all of the time). But like you said, I know that in being away from my kids, in allowing others to help, I can do some of the things that make me happy. It’s a tough tradeoff, but I think it’s one that needs to be made. Your story of your son breaks my heart. But I think, no, i know he’ll be okay …with time. He just loves his mama and wants to be with her. That’s all.
Just give his extra hugs and kisses before you leave for your trip and when you return.
Jessica recently posted..Facebook Friends
I feel guilty about leaving my husband if even for a few hours because in the back of my mind its telling me all the stuff I need to get done, yadda yadda. I think it was the way we were raised because I know people who feel the same way then there are the others who don’t care and just up and go whenever they want.
The mommy guilt I suffer is insane. I can do two nights away when I’m at blogging conferences and such but any more than two nights away and I am a basket-case! My six year old is okay with me leaving but my four year old who still sleeps with me has a harder time. I worry all the time about them when I’m away, and what I’m missing, and if they’re okay. It’s not easy. I have crazy mommy guilt even when I’m at work. It’s never-ending… and it’s not really getting easier, even though I know they’re in good hands when I’m not there.
It’s always hard when you leave your kids. I’ve done it before and yes, I’ve felt a little guilty.
My husband and I are going to Hawaii at the end of March and leaving the kids with their Grandma. I feel a little bad but at the same time, I know they’re in good hands.

I feel the same around the time I agree to do something for myself. I wasn’t there to put my boys to bed last night. I was on my way home from a job interview. Our bedtime routine is my favorite time NOT because they will be going to sleep but because my 6 year olds will cuddle with me like it’s their job! I was so sad about missing out on the cuddle time. I won’t be here tonight for bed time wither. My mother -in-law will be doing it as we will be in NYC with Chris for a doctors appointment. I know tomorrow they’ll be all the more apt to give me tighter hugs. It’s all I can think about

Yes, mom guilt is the worst and the reason why I never go anywhere. LOL But, you’re right. When we fight the mom guilt and do something for ourselves, we’re better mommies. And in the long run, the security they have when they realize everything is fine, WAS fine when dad was home, and you made it back safe and sound is such a confidence booster. Right? That’s what I’m going with anyway.
Have a safe trip and enjoy yourself!
I love how you described the days away as “four sleeps”. That would be the hardest part.

I just don’t. I know they’re fine, and as stressy as I can be about some things, that’s not one of them. That transition and having to deal with missing you every day will even get better as your five year old gets into a routine. Once he’s seen that you come back (about five million times) he’ll start to feel better about your leaving. In the meantime? Drink extra wine at blissdom. You deserve it!!

Mom guilt is awful! I pulls at your heart strings. Especially when one or more of your children are crying or asking you not to go or begging to come with you. I take a deep breathe and drink some wine while Im away! :) I know they will be okay and it’s good for all of us. Getting away every once in awhile allows me to regroup and recharge. Every mama needs it!

I don’t know – literally because I rarely get the chance to actually leave them! I think by now I’d welcome the chance to find out. LOL
The only time I have been away from my children……is the days I spent in the hospital to birth a sibling. Hubby and I have never gone away over night and left them with someone; just a few rare date nights. No trips to sun and surf, or hotel rooms for a night of childless bliss. We don’t really have anyone to watch them since our parents are older and our families don’t live in the same city.
I think I suffer more from “wife guilt” because I know hubby and I are not getting the child free time that we need to reconnect.

I feel your pain. I feel guilty when I go out of town also. Even though I know it is healthy, it is still hard. So I rarely go, which I am sure is a mistake. I also have a child that needs me more than my other 2 kids. It is so hard to leave the one that you know really needs you, but it is so good for both of you. If you never leave, you can’t build trust that you will return.
I definitely feel guilty. Like I need to get home right after whatever I am doing. I do need to take some more me time besides doing work related things. Hope you have a great trip and that your middle guy does okay without you.

This topic is is what is on my heart today. So I know exactly what you are talking about. I am going out of town with my daughter this weekend for a dance competition. We leave Friday afternoon and won’t be back until Sunday evening. If you had asked me last week, I was all ready to go, I really, really needed a break. A girls weekend. mother-daughter time. And now as it’s closer, my heart pangs about not being around my son. He is with me everyday except for during preschool and church. I know he will be in good hands-his father’s, but it’s hard to not be there for bedtime, bath time, playtime and when he goes into church class.

My kids were much older the first time Gene and I went away for a week. Gene had to attend a school for the job he was at and they paid for the hotel and everything for us to go. I still nearly had a heart attack all the way there, calling and checking, driving my mom nutso. So don’t feel lonely at all.
I’m wondering how he does at school after you’ve left…
I know a lot of kids his age cry while their mothers are still in sight or for a short period after, but then get on with their days once they realize Mom’s gone.
I hope he’s one of these – who can’t quite help the tears when you’re still in reach but who can shake it off when you’ve left. Either way, I won’t lie: that sounds really hard.
I wish so much that I were seeing you at Blissdom so I could give you a hug and say “It’s going to be fine.”
And if not, pour you a glass of wine.

I don’t anymore, but I did when they were little… sometimes. Although we homeschooled, so I didn’t have that particular issue, I’ve had PLENTY of months and even years of mommy guilt/doubt over the last 20 years of being a mommy! My youngest is now 11, though, so my hubby and I are enjoying a bit more freedom to go out and not worry about being gone because all of the kids are really close, so they enjoy staying home with each other.

Lately most of my time away has been traveling for work and I feel more guilty about leaving my husband WITH the kids than I do about leaving the kids. Of course they are pretty little and don’t really care if I leave. The husband however notices when I’m gone because HE has to be the parent in charge. So, he misses me. And I feel bad leaving him when I know how much easier it is when there are two parents there. (PS, Have I mentioned how much I love your new look? It’s pretty!! )

Oh Shell I feel so bad for your little guy and you. That sounds so hard! I am lucky to not have guilt when I drop them off at pre-school because they LOVE it.

Have a great time at Blissdom!
You know — it’s weird, but I have more mom guilt now about leaving my little guy than I did when he was a baby. I guess it is because he is more aware that I’m gone, etc. And even though I know he’ll be just fine, it is still tough, so I can’t imagine how hard it must be leaving three! They will be fine though…your hubs will take great care of them, plus you need the break! Enjoy Blissdom! xoxo
