[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Some of you women shock me. It's a week. OP will be gone for a week. it's not like she is leaving for a month. Men leave for a week on business trips and no one says anything. Her child needs his dad just as much as he needs his mom. Her husband sounds like a great dad who will be able to handle things for a week. No need to make OP feel bad. [/quote]

Seriously. OP, it will be fine. Not easy, not stress-free, but fine. These[b] trolls [/b]on here are acting like you're going on vacation.[/quote]

Dp  We aren't trolls if we have a [i]different[/i] opinion than you or Op.  Most of the women posting are being very respectful and just pointing out that this is a practically new born baby she is leaving during a pandemic!   I think it is reasonable for others to point out issues that the op might not have considered.  Nobody is calling her names or making her feel that she is a terrible mother but, how would op feel if she got covid and got seriously sick?  Or gave it to her father?

To those who mention that we are being sexist and that the father is an equal partner.    Equal is not the same and until the father can get  pregnant, deliver and breastfeed there are some things the mother can do the father cannot. It is just fact.  I wouldn't leave an 8 week old during normal times and certainly not during a pandemic!

the op is free to ignore the advice and do what she wants.  But, if you ask for opinions you have to acknowledge that you may get opinions you disagree with. If the dad is so great and op so confident why is she posting her for ideas?  Just go and let the Dad be the super parent![/quote]
