only because I had a bad thought about my two and 1/2 year old going on this field trip with her class to the park. Any other day, I wouldn't trip...I'd be like okay honey have a nice time....but for some reason, I just had this funny feeling something would happen and I'd never see her again.....
So now I am little worried about whether or not I should allow her to go on this trip...and it's 4:24am....the trip is today.....and so now I can't sleep......I mean she's such a tiny little thing....I mean I could like drive her to the park....but I have a meeting this morning at 10am. I am so ready to say to hell with that meeting and drive my baby to park or not take her at all.....just for her own safety.
Follow your gut.

Yes, thank you Deb. I have decided to follow my gut. And I was able to make a few phone calls at the crack of dawn and I'll be escorting my baby on her trip. I feel so much better about that. :-)
ReplyDeleteDon't you trust the people who look after her? I understand your concern though but sooner or later you'll have to let her go on her "own"!
ReplyDeleteOh I trust them...but for some reason....today I just had a bad feeling...ya know?
ReplyDeleteI don't blame you. Two and a half is VERY small to send on a "field trip". It's different when you have one-on-one childcare, but a group situation is very different. I think it's too easy for a child to slip away unnoticed.
ReplyDeleteGood for you, following your instincts. It's damned hard being a working parent... (I'm a working single parent and people have no idea how difficult it is if they haven't been there.)
