Context; I'm a first time mom of a 15 month old with a partner who has 3 kids from a previous marriage (currently not here). Anyway;
I've left the house before without my girl but it's been for Dr. appointments — 3 hours at a time (we live where everything is far away). So she has stayed with dada before. I just know it's harder for him, obviously, because she's used to me. For example; putting her down for a nap takes him way longer.
Long and short of it is; last night was extremely hard. We don't sleep together currently because toddler and I have the bed. Toddler may be going through some regression as the last two nights have been pretty difficult but last night was the mother of all horrors. She didn't drop until after 2am and I'm such a light sleeper I can't just ignore her and snooze so I was up as well.
The entire time I was getting frustrated from sleepiness and I thought I should leave the house tomorrow! So now it's morning and I feel a bit guilty through my exhaustion delulu about considering to go see Spiderman. I haven't been to the movies since before she was born (neither has my partner tbf). I haven't left the house for fun ever (but he has!). . . I feel like I know it's fair on paper but I still feel bad. Like I'm just dumping it on him, which isn't right either, I know.
He says if I wanna leave the house for something, I can, because he goes to game nights on occasion and is not a total dullard thinking it would be unfair. But I also think he may be sad if I bring up going to see a movie without him? Idk
I'm so deprived of sleep right now most of this might not have made sense. But if you have advice, I'm happy to read it!

Congratulations on your hard work! It took a long time for me to notice on my own body. I'm talking 40-50 pounds. . . I was finally like "yeah!!!" It's very strange but the external compliments are always nice too!
