Three full days for a work trip. That was hard.
-
So far only ~27 hours! She's getting old enough now that we are starting to think about going on vacation and leaving her with my parents for upwards of a week, once we save up some money. SO EXCITED just thinking about it, but i'm sure i'll be more anxious once we actually plan it.
-
Just four hours or so. It's pathetic but she won't take a bottle. Someday,,,
-
I was gone from DS for a few days when I had DD. That was over a year ago and I don't see leaving either of them in the near future. Nine days sounds rough
Big hugs for you!!

Wow, 9 days is a long time!
We've been away for a weekend, so 2 nights, and we come back by the 3rd day.
-
2 nights, so like 2 1/2 days. The first time was hard, the second was easier.
-
3-4 days. The weather was bad after New Year's, so he stayed with my parents a little longer until we could safely travel to get him. Luckily, he likes it there and didn't complain too much about it.
-
DD- a work day (12ish hours)
DS- 5 weeks when I went to Officer Development School -
just over 2 days. it was while we were moving - I left her at my mom's. I was so busy which really helped. actually I felt more nervous that I was letting her fly alone with my mom! but everyone did great.
I would have a hard time with 9 days for sure.
-
We left her this weekend for 3 nights with my parents for the first time. It was a little hard on all of us (not my parents). She cried for us (me) at night and we missed her terribly. But she is 3.
-
Man, 9 days is insanely long.
With W, about 28 hours when I went to have her baby sister at the hospital. But she was at the hospital for about 3-4 of those hours.
With M, maybe 4-5 hours.
I don't think I plan on being away from both of them overnight for a long time.
-
28 hours is the longest I've been away from LO. It was an overnight trip. It was hard but that was b/c it was the first time I'd been away for more than the regular work day. She was just fine and I had a good time.
Good luck to you!! Both of you will survive and I"m sure there'll be LOTS of snuggles when they return. Maybe you should plan some special time together when they get back!
-
5 days. We went to Mexico for my brother's wedding. It was a nice vacation but I did miss my little guy.
-
To date, the longest I have been away from him was one night. I am leaving for a week-long overseas business trip next week without LO and I am starting to have major anxiety about it.
-
14 hours, 9 am til about 11 pm. I was filming a wedding. I've never left him overnight.
9 days is really long.
That's tough.
-
@Mrs. Pen: Th elongest for us was nine days. I had to go the UK for work and left her with DH. It was hard but at the same time I think it was really giid for me to reconnect with my identity as a person beyond being mum and wife. We FaceTimed everyday although some days that actually was upsetting and confusing for her so we couldn't do it as much as we wanted to.
Try to do things that you find difficult to do when they are home jus to at least get a silver lining out of the time spent apart.

@plantains: for awhile I was actually feeling somewhat excited just because I feel like I can finally focus my attention on my studies without interruption and hopefully work on bringing my grades up this week... but then it set in yesterday how long they'll really be gone and it makes me sad. But I'm going to make the most of it by working really hard. I'm glad you had a pretty positive experience for the same length of time! I 100% trust DH and I know this will be an amazing father-son time, and a valuable time for J to get to know his dad's side of the family.
-
lo is almost 2 and the longest I've been away from her was 5 hours.
-
I've been away from DS overnight (while I was in the hospital having DD) and I've only been away from DD for maybe 4 hours??
-
a little bit over 48 hours to attend a wedding. it was amazing getting away with DH and connecting without having to worry about DD's schedule. she had a blast with my parents!
-
Just a regular workday -- 9ish hours.
DH had a 5 day work trip when LO was just over a year. We missed him! He doesn't normally travel for his job, so it was pretty unusual for us.
-
5 days when DH and I went to NY for the Super Bowl this year. Before that 3 days when we went away for our anniversary
-
@Mrs. Pen: I think it is also harder for you because you will be home while they go away. Big hug, they will be back before you know it!
Big hugs for you!!
