Feel free to discuss or not.

moped replied: Not a single worry here for me if they are with someone I trust 100%

It's all good!

Calimama replied: She's always in the back of my mind so I picked #2. I have tons of fun but that part never goes away for me.

MomToJade&Jordan replied: As long as they are with someone I trust 100% I am fine. I rarely get to go out so when I get the chance I take advantage of the time I get.

Same here.
Avery stays at Jeff's Parents quite a bit and even though I trust them and know they will take excellent care of her, I also know that accidents can happen, so that's a constant worry for me. Have I mentioned I'm a paranoid freak?!!!

My2Beauties replied: I'm between #2 and #3. This is bad but if they are with the IL's I worry a little bit because my MIL does things that I would never do but she does offer to keep them quite a bit and she loves them to pieces, just lots of sugar and ice cream and stuff like that that irks me. If they are with my mom I don't worry one bit. I worry when they go to Alabama a little not because I don't trust my dad 100% because he is even more anal than I am about my kids but because they're so far away and if something was to happen it would take me 5 hours to get to them.

Danalana replied: I worry a little, but I will also text or call often I'm better than I was! Most of my "worry" is that my MIL won't make sure he gets a nap. And also, just because I know what he likes and the way we do things just works. I guess those rare times are good for both of us!

lisar replied: If I leave my kids with someone I trust 100% (granny) then I dont have to worry about them. I KNOW they are in good hands.

boyohboyohboy replied: I guess I am in the minority this time.
I havent been on a date since we got married.
we have no family in our area and mostly dont have good friends since we just moved in the last 7 mnths..
so we havent been out and my kids have not had a babysitter.

and with Jakes allergies and health issues that isnt anyone I trust him with.

Mommy2Isabella replied: I always worry. Even when they are with DH! Whom I trust more than anyone. I call and check on them. I am just paranoid something is going to happen while I am gone and no one can soothe like mommy can

But I can have a pretty good time!

Kaitlin'smom replied: I will always worry about her no matter who she is with, now with that said I can still have a good time, but she is always in my heart and on my mind.

Hillbilly Housewife replied: if they're in good hands, i don't worry about them one BIT. it's MY time.

they're on my mind in the sense that i wouldn't do something stupid and leave them in a bad situation, motherless, etc... but my might out is all about me.

luvmykids replied: I have NO problem leaving my kids....we've been doing it for quite awhile. DH and I are very blessed to have awesome family who will watch them for hours or days. We've been able to go to Vegas, Palm Springs, Orlando....lots of people don't understand how we could half way enjoy it, but when they're with the grandparents I don't have a single thing to worry about.

CantWait replied: When they were younger, I would have them in the back of my mind.

Now that they're older not soooo dependant, 100% good time.

CantWait replied:
That's a grandparent thing.

My grandma use to give Robbie at a year old chocolate chips cookies right before dinner. He had the worst eating habits after we lived with her for a year and a half.

lee1 replied: If my daughter is with someone I trust 100%, I can relax but I ALWAYS worry that something will happen. When she is at school, I worry...when she is with her daddy, I worry....I guess, all in all, when she isn't with me, I just plain worry. I think that comes from her always being with me since birth and for the first 4 years of her life, it was always just her, daddy and me. (being in a foreign country without family).
