Night Out
Went to visit PC and her new son with Carmen and SW.
I had to leave HH at home with Mom bcoz HH is still coughing. Did not want to risk passing the germs to the new baby.
I was away from HH for 3 hours. And I realized I enjoyed my time away. Not that I am tired of my responsibilty towards her, but that I was able to move about freely and participate in the conversation with my friends wholeheartedly, not needing to watch and mind her with one eye.
But she was tearing when she saw me when I got home. And I don't know if she was crying because Mom had just tried to clear her nose or because I had reappeared. Perhaps a combination of both reasons. But the result was a major outcry that took a long long while to pacify.
I think it'll be healthy to have her get used to life without me every once in a while. But I know it is terrible for the alternative caregiver aka my mom. Every time I go for a night out, my mom gets no rest until I return.
Freedom with guilt.
Sighz...
Hey! I think I shall deploy the Papa to this task once they become more acquainted with each other. Mom and me will go for our sauna and gym while Papa entertains her. Yeah! That'll be THE plan!
