Mixed feelings about family leaving...
« on: January 07, 2008, 08:41:19 AM »
My parents have been here for the last two weeks and we have had a fantastic visit, lots of entertaining, seeing friends, spending time with the inlaws, putting shelves up...stuff like that. My son LOVED having them here and I Know they just adored being with the boy. We had a HUGE 2nd Birthday party for him when they were here, in general, it was great to have them around.

But they have just let...HOORAY! I wasn't sad in the least to see them go, even though my mother cooked and my dad cleaned, and my son was looked after.  I can't wait to get out the door today and be on my own with my boy (who is currently singing NeeNaw car to the tune of twinkle twinkle...off the charts adorable. trust me.)

Anyway, its such an odd feeling.

you'll get back into your old routine soon.  It sucks not having our parents around- the things we do for love!

I have mixed feelings about leaving family - usually, I just miss my life, my hubby. Then again, I have yet to have family leaving, though I'm sure I will miss my own routine when / if that happens!

The mixed feelings thing seems normal to me - lots of emotions going on!

My parents left last week and we're both still absolutely gutted.

It's getting harder and harder to say goodbye.
