[quote=Anonymous]I would have felt this exact same way when my dd was 3 and I never did any trips. Now that she's older I say DO IT!! She won't be with a nanny, she'll be with dad and grandma!! She'll be fine. And if she is sad while you're gone; she's sad. It's not our job to shield our children from feelings, it's to help them learn to cope with feelings. This is a great opportunity for you to practice having her do an overnight with just grandma a few times before October (hint hint you and your dh get away!). Listen, when I finally did some trips when my anxious dd was older she did get sad sometimes, but she was always fine when I got back. Her anxiety is always there (therapy helps) but me going away/not going away was not the thing that contributed to her being anxious. I really really encourage you to go on this trip. [/quote]
