I am not sure where to put this one..

I am starting to get so overwhelmed with going out with my kids without DH.

For the most part my children are good.. They will sit quietly and amuse each other for a little while, but I also believe they should be able to be kids and not have to sit still for me to have a coffee/lunch at catch up with friends (that is an awful long time for a little one). Now DS is quite mobile (on his feet, but not walking solo yet), the thought of going places scares me, so much so that I feel sick at the thought of it. I am happy to have catch ups at peoples houses, but not play centres, lunches at cafes etc..

Am I the only one?

I feel really bad. I was meant to go for a meet with some other Mum's earlier this week, but when the time came, I felt so sick in the morning, think I read more into the small signs of the children that they might be unwell, and didn't go.. Turns out we were all fine by lunch time.. I don't like letting others down, but then I feel so worked up about going and make it all seem so much worse..
