It's not that i want to leave him-im so content here at home but it would be nice to have the option and im also concerned he'll become very clingy if he doesn't get used to other people.
It doesn't help that my non-mummy friends have no idea how much having a baby takes over your life, i don't think they unnderstand why i can't go out for tea around Maxs' bedtime etc.
So ive heard the concert was amazing?!! xx
I know what you mean about non mummy friends - They think I'm crazy sticking to bedtime routine but Amelia gets so grizzly if the routine is broken though.
I really don't mind being home with her - I'm don't feel I'm missing out on anything
not left him with a babysitter yet as we dont' have much family around here so not had the chance. i leave him with daddy a fair bit as i'm rehearsing for a show at the minute and my oh works away so he leaves him with me every week overnight.
we are quite lucky though as he's in a good nighttime routine and is fast asleep by 7pm and doesnt' wake until 7am so wouldn't know who was looking after him anyway!!!
you ladies just have to do what feels right as you'll only be stressed out if you go out too soon. but i can vouch for the fact that a night out does you the world of good!
I also left him overnight with my brother when I had a 30th birthday to go to, he was around 2 months old. I drove to my brothers on the friday, stayed with him but pretty much handed Zach over to bro and his girlfriend so they could get used to him while I was there. Then left about 2 on the Saturday, drove the couple of hours to where the party was and returned about 2 on the Sunday. He had such a good time with them and was spoilt rotten, that when I walked in he looked at me as if to say 'not you again!'.
I also went to Take That on Tuesday and left him with daddy. All was good except that I'm very strict about his routine and he has to be in bed by 8, if not asleep. Dad put him to bed at 10, having slept on the sofa since 8 (He thought that was the same as being in bed!) and consequently Zach was grumpy all day Wednesday! Why don't men listen??
anyway, I think because I started leaving him when he was so young, both of us are getting used to it now. That's not to say that I don't miss him and worry that everything is ok!
We're entitled to some time off ladies, God knows we work hard enough! So if your babies will take a bottle and you're leaving them with someone you trust, go for it and enjoy yourselves!

We don't have any close family nearby so a night out won't be happening anytime soon. Nina also doesn't take a bottle so I would be a bit worried if I left her with her daddy. Part of the reason we want to move back to the UK is for the babysitters..lol!
I am so grateful that he will take a bottle so that I can leave him with his dad for a few hours. I am looking forward to this night out more than I can say!
On subject of Take That...they were rehersing quite near to us and staying at a local hotel..OH missed meeting them by minutes when he stopped by the old hangers where there stage was set up, was invited back but he didnt get round to it, oh well have Leo decap and Johnny Depp back soon filming soon, not that i get to meet them
