we took my 15 month old with us to the movies. it was a day time session, so not many people in the theatre. she was pretty good, happy to play on the stairs when she got sick of sitting and loved having a dance to the music. i reckon it would be even easier with a younger bub. oh dear, i think i just gave you an excuse NOT to leave her.
Honestly, I think if you feel that way and you don't need to leave him then don't. It's ok to feel that way - in fact it's natural and normal. It certainly doesn't make you a crazy lady.
It took me more than 2 years to leave my DS for the first time with my parents. They came to our house and looked after the kids for 4 hours while DH and I went out. I checked the phone constantly, lol.
Then only other time we were separated was when I had DD. We expected bub and I to be home less than 24 hours later, but due to an unforeseen heart complication DD was admitted to SCN for a couple of extra nights. It was heartbreaking to not know if she was ok, and also to be away from DS those extra days. Luckily DH was happy to bring DS into the hospital a couple of times a day for me.
