[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Don't take her. Let this be an opportunity for her and your DH to bond. She will be fine!! I promise![/quote]

I hope so.  DH rarely spends time with DD one on one (again, a whole other story) and NEVER does bedtime.  He also can have a bad attitude and lack of patience when it comes to taking care of DD.  It's mostly expressed to me, but I worry that spending several hours with her one on one when he's not used to it will drive him to the hilt.[/quote]

You have never really given him the chance to do bedtime as it seems you have been there every single night. He has never really had a chance to bond one on one with her or take care of her as you are always there. You sound a little co-dependent on your daughter. You need her to need you and only you. Not DH, not nanny. Just you. This isn't healthy for her. You need to step back and let her bond with others. That will be a bit scary for her at first as you have taught her you are the only one who can meet her needs. [/quote]
