I travel quite a bit for work, and my kids are 1 and 4. Sometimes I can’t wait to get away from the house of toddler chaos and get to a bed where I can just sleep blissfully alone. But once I see their faces on video chat from my hotel room I miss them so much and just want to go home.
Give me another week at home however and I’m itching to get out of there again. Anyone else feel this?
Oh man I was wondering if I was the only one who felt this way. Me and my childs mom are split up so sometimes on my weeks with my daughter I get very tired and frustrated towards the end and almost privately glad to be dropping her back off at her mothers. But then as soon as I leave and have an hour or so to myself I immediately miss her and wish she was back with me.
I feel like this is the cycle of parenting. It’s so hard to know how to interact with them, but as frustrating as it is, you want it back.
