My baby is 3 months old and he used to be happy with my husband (his dad) but the last few weeks it seems like he’s only able to be soothed by me. My husband is a great dad and he truly tries everything to make our baby happy and comfortable but often, our baby just cries and cries until I take him. My husband can’t even get the baby to nap anymore. We’re working on it so hopefully it gets better but it’ll probably take a while.

I’ve left them home to go food shopping a few times but our baby usually cries the entire time. It’s nuts. I also just don’t like leaving him, I love being with him and I don’t really need a break.

Anyway, my mom, grandma and sister are going to dinner on Friday at a place about an hour from my house. They want me to go but I’m not sure it’s worth it. I’m going to see them tomorrow for thanksgiving (all day almost and overnight) but the dinner would be just the women and I can’t take my baby with us. So basically I’d be gone for 5 hours, and in the evening when our baby is especially cranky. My husband would try his best as always but the cries drive him crazy and after holding the crying baby for 30 mins or so he needs to take a break and leave the baby in the bassinet for a few mins.

I can’t decide if it’s worth it to go? What would you do?
