L and I had an amazing time, I didn't miss them at all (except on the one occasion B put them on the phone) and they absolutely loved being spoiled by their grannies and not being bossed around by their elder sister.<br /><br />Just what we all needed. But so nice to be back with them too.Harriethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11975259590293860488noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3432382804917497650.post-26085267744097653612011-01-10T11:30:41.960+00:002011-01-10T11:30:41.960+00:00Oh but you will love it!

Did you ever see the post before we went away last year (resulting in the birth of Charlie nine months later, but I suppose you're not in that kind of danger :-) ) - I explain my method to making this understandable and stress-free to the children. (Present, obviously.)<br /><br />http://mwaonline.blogspot.com/2009/11/not-about-books-at-all.html<br /><br />Sorry about the profanity. Well, I'm not sorry really. It makes sense when read with the post just before. Otherwise it's just rude. Actually, it stays rude even if you know. Nevermind. The strategy works perfectly.Mwahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00954216492730746581noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3432382804917497650.post-11888603612252031412011-01-08T15:43:24.721+00:002011-01-08T15:43:24.721+00:00I totally get where you're coming from.

Everything was, of course, fine.<br /><br />You might want to follow @kimifan on Twitter. She has a 3 year old and an 8 month old. At the end of last September she went to Singapore on her own to see the Grand Prix and she felt similarly anxious, but had a great time.<br /><br />Hope you have great fun:-)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04988201531739344840noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3432382804917497650.post-89828808656909824372011-01-07T13:42:35.141+00:002011-01-07T13:42:35.141+00:00Oh I so understand this feeling, although I have n...Oh I so understand this feeling, although I have never been away from the boys for more than once a night.

When I fly home to the UK on my own I worry to the point of wanting to cancel but I have to say, the welcome upon my return is well worth it. Have a lovely time, your lovely babies will be well looked after and will love it when their Mummy comes home.Calif Lornahttp://califlorna.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3432382804917497650.post-41608459009731342672011-01-06T23:25:18.245+00:002011-01-06T23:25:18.245+00:00I think that part of it is that this is the longes...I think that part of it is that this is the longest I'll have left them (although my mum did have them for five days when we moved house, which is reassuring me, now that I've remembered that) and certainly the furthest I'll ever have been - the next furthest was again when we moved house and other than that it's been three weekends away in total since any of them were born and we were never more than an hour away, on my insistence.... Oh well. It will get easier.

There is nothing I can say that will ease this for you, every parent has the exact same thoughts and worries. Enjoy your trip :) Jen@jencull (jen)http://www.thekingandeye.comnoreply@blogger.com
