Thanks for your replies . I'm glad I'm not the only 'weird' one out there who hasn't left their LO yet. That in itself helps a lot .
Big to you Heaven - I would be freaking out too!
I don't understand everyone's insistence that I should be leaving DS with other people - like I'm strange to want to look after my own baby! DH and I do get couple-only time every evening, as DS is in bed by 7.30pm, so we get a few hours to ourselves - not quite the same as going out, so that will be nice one day - just not yet.
I think I'll just have to tell my mum (and others) that I'm not ready yet - but I will add that she'll be the first person I call when I finally am ready (thanks for that suggestion ).
Thanks again for your replies - I don't feel quite so silly for making a big(ish) deal out it.
I had left Jack with Jase (DH) while I ducked to shops etc, the first time I left him with someone else he was 3 weeks shy of 2yrs and it was for 3 hrs for a wedding reception, the next time was when he was about 29 mths with a friend for 3hrs while I had my hair done, the next time was 12 days ago when he was with my mum for 6hrs while I had c-sect with Luke he also spent about 2hrs with my IL's while I was inhosp with Luke I dont plan on leaving him again for a while
though I have been informed by DH that in feb we are leaving both boys with a friend as he has a work dinner to celebrate 10 yrs of service and already I am in tears and upset about this, I beleive I woudl be fine to leave Jack but Luke wont be 4mths so I am fretting big time
