Jealous of my husband?
|

| View More Posts Ignore |
Hey all...my husband is going out of town next weekend to visit some family in California. He is a huge presence in our sons' lives and is a wonderful father and husband. My youngest (5 years old) took it hard when his dad told him he was going on a trip for a couple of days. I am currently in graduate school and had to leave for a week last November for residency and have to again in June. My boys seemed unfazed by my absence. Although my husband assures me that they missed me, I can't help but feel a little jealous that they miss their dad more. I feel so juvenile even as I am typing this. anyone had any experience with this?

Yes...I'm sorry.
They will miss u...the special things you do for them, the little added 'mom-only' time, events, lunch, etc...whatever it is, they will miss it...:) I tried to always think of it this way - when I had to leave and be gone, and I just got a 'see-ya' mom...I just would say to myself 'THEY KNOW I"LL BE BACK"...that's why they don't care that I'm leaving...they know I will be back, I'm always here...etc. etc...But, when I do leave, and return after a few days, overnight, whatever....I have been rewarded with hugs, I missed u's...and I love you's....I know, it doesn't relieve the jealousy you are feeling toward your husband, but know that it's a wonderful thing they have such a deep connection with their dad...and you can't pat yourself on the back for part of that. You've encouraged that relationship, and you can and will always be a big part of that! They will miss you - they just may not know it until you've actually been gone for a while. :)

I have to correct what I wrote...

I accidentally wrote CAN'T Here...I meant you CAN pat yourself on the back for that...Sorry about that... :)
