My children will be spending the next two weeks at their dad's house!

I know how you must be feeling. My daughter used to go spend the night at her dad's house a long time ago when he finally gave her the time of day and I missed her really bad. He only had seen her a couple of times and that was only one of those times. I knew he wasn't going to take good care of her like I would. she doesn't go to her dad's any more because he never wants to see her anymore. I am so glad that i do not have to deal with him not caring for her when she is in his presence. I suggest you talk with your friends here and we will keep you company until your children come back home. I know how it makes you feel, believe me.

awww i understand you totally. i had to go through the same nmany times, but i did good at least lol. try to get some things done which are difficult to do with the kids. i can tell you what i did. visiting some places i never could with my kids, swimming, gymnastics, lots of work and so on. i did invite some friends for a dinner too. maybe you find some interesting things out for yourself. i send you lots of power and i wish the time goes fast till they are back. ;-)

First you have to try to rememer why you married that guy in the first place. Then you have to trust that he would do nothing to harm them or allow it while they are there. Prepare by talking to them and sharing how much fun it might be and that you will indeed miss them. Also that you wish to hear the tales of their exploits while there upon their return. That way you have peace of mind to some degree. Also you have you time that you can use to pamper yourself. Read that book, clean that house so it is more of wha you enjoy. Kids and you will be all the better upon your reunion. Maybe he will become a better Dad in the process. Good luck in this.

OOOhh you poor thing. I think that you just have to trust that they will be ok and having a great time otherwise you'll go insane thinking about it. Keep busy, sit on here longer, whatever it takes just keep busy, because I know that the feeling will be empty when they are not around.

Gosh what a problem I know your imanagination is going crazy of all the things that could go wrong if you are like me. I also will be second gessing me on what they will need. Now that I have you sitting on the ceiling take a deep breath and and let it out, and come down to your computer chair. Take another deep breath and let it out. Your kids will be a phone call away. Your children will miss you like mad but they will also have a good time with their father and they need to know their father. Two weeks are going to go buy fast. You will have time to do some deep cleaning, if you want, you will have time to go out to dinner with friends, talk on the phone without interuptions. You will cry when they leave and cry when you see them again. I would not expect anything else if you loved them and I know you do.

you are a really good mom!..I was the same way when my children were young..always thinking of the bad things that would happen to them..Is their dad a responsible Father?...Does he get them on the week-ends sometimes? If so then he is used to being around them..you didn't say how old they were but I can assume they are very young..so I do understand your worry..but Daddy's take care of their Kids everyday the same as "Mommy"..I would hope that he will let them call you some too..just say a little prayer and try to enjoy yourself..maybe even take a nice little vacation yourself..stay busy..

I don't know what I would do! My sister goes crazy just when her kids are at their dads house for the weekend, that's when I expect a lot of phone calls from her lol. I stayed over at her house during the weekend and we rented a bunch of movies that we know the children would have interuppted if they were there (my son was still a baby at the time). We also ate a bunch of junk food and didn't have to worry about them getting into it lol. good luck!

Relax and enjoy the quiet time, it will end soon enough. Dad needs tim with them too and you really can't get paranoid everytime they go see their dad. there has to be something that you have been intending to do, but never got around to doing, so here is the time to do it....be adventurous and set yourself a goal.

Wow, that's hard! Maybe, you should focus on the things you have to do and keep your mind off them knowing that they will be safe with their dad. Why not take a vacation to a place you have been wanting to go? Just call them everyday and enjoy your break!

Well, go for a vacation or visit your friends. You can have do mylot more often.

Your children are beautiful (from the pic)! I know exactly how you feel! When my son goes with his dad every other weekend, I worry the whole time. I know you're not supposed to, but it's a "mom" thing, you know? So, I feel your heartache. However, I do get a lot done when he's not here, sometimes. Plus, the quietness is sometimes a good thing. When my son is with his dad, I call a lot, and that helps to relieve some of the loneliness. Maybe you can work something out with their dad to where you can call at certain times of the day? It really helps to be able to talk to them whenever you want. And, you should be able to. Good luck and I hope that you end up just enjoying yourself while their with their dad!
