LO is 4 months old now. I leave her and Dad together for a couple of hours one night a week so I can do something just for me.

This weekend I’m going out for the afternoon with friends and I really don’t want to go! I’m not worried about leaving her with my husband because he’s amazing; I’m just worried about being 30+ mins away from home, relying on public transport rather than my own car and the length of time I’m leaving (probably 6-7 hours). I used to love doing things like this but now I’d rather be at home with my baby.

What can I do to feel better about going? Do I just cancel? Shall I drive instead then I can leave whenever I choose too? 🤷‍♀️
