my mother and my baby are in the province right now for a vacation though i've been there for a week but need to go back for my work and they will returned by may as they need to wait for my father's birthday first before coming back besides my mother love to stay there than here in my place where shes only stuck inside the house watching tv and taking care of my baby while in the province i have siblings there who can also look after my baby and for the fact that my mother can have some rest since shes not getting any younger at all my baby also enjoyed the place since my cousin's kids are there as her playmate and when i called the yesterday my mother said that my baby is busy playing with other kids, now the problem is me coz im alone in the apartment now and cant help but cry coz i really miss my baby so much going to the province is very expensive so i cant just go there to see my daughter. i tried to focused my self by being busy watching tv and internet during my rest day but it cant replace my baby. i found myself hugging my baby's jacket earlier while lying in bed and crying.

I think if i am in the same situation, where i got to work and no one is to take care for my baby , i would also just agree like you did to your mother. What is important, is you know that your baby could be well taken cared of in the province, in addition to having a healthier surrounding since we know that in the province there's fresher air. Just occupy your mind with your work and in no time May will come, and she will finally be back to you.

yes your right what matter is shes well taking cared and happy, in there she can go out and walk nor run as she can without any danger unlike here she cant even go out due to car outside. i will just be busy with work i know time will pass by without knowing its already may.

I wonder how old your baby is. To be honest I find it a bid weird you won't see her for such a long time. I guess because it's not common over here to do such a thing. We take care of our own kids, it's very rare if a family member would do that. But even if you work you do it yourself. I have 5 kids now, the eldest is nearly 28 years oldb the youngest became 6 but they always been with me. Only last year I had for the first time 6 days without my kids (son 8 and daughter 5 at that moment), the eldest two daughters (27 and 21) took care of them. It was a test since I am tired after all these years having kids around me. I don't think I would leave a baby or small kid behind since it's my responsibility. Already thought my daughter would be too young for that but she is a very smart girl and good thing was although she cried a lot before I left, from the moment on I was gone she did not miss me at all. I hope your daughter has a great time but also you will find some rest, since I think it's special if family wants to take care of your baby. And if it helps just hug her jacket!

shes just one year old and 5 months she doesnt know whats going on yet though my mother is the one whose looking after her since i have work and im a single mother. They wanted to bring my baby to the province so theres a lot who can look after her so i can also concentrate on my work and save some money for her but i manage to keep her with me and rent an apartment where we can be together, i tried to work a lot to have enough money for us and have some few to save for her when she grow up. its hard for me coz i was just broken hearted by her father when he left us and now that my baby is far i felt broken hearted again and it makes me feel lonely coz im alone. thinking that shes having great time there is enough for me to go on everyday with a smile.

Be strong, homeshoppers, you need to work for the future of your baby. I know it's really hard to be away from someone you love, especially if it's your baby. I have experienced that when I have to go away for two weeks to attend a seminar/training and leave my baby for the first time. I felt so miserable that time because I miss my baby so much Anyway, why not try calling your baby through your mother once in a while? I hope you are better now and doesn't feel too lonely

yes its really miserable, i thought that i will be ok being alone since i used to live alone before after college when i started my work until i got pregnant and now that i have a daughter its really different, theres something that makes me feel so light and happy if i see her everyday from work even if im so tired and every time im home from work i tend to kiss and hug my baby. i tried to call them everyday before but that was expensive and im thinking of saving my money instead to buy ticket going back there to get my baby so maybe by feb or march i will get her back i cant wait for may maybe my father will forgive me

I have no kids but i can imagine the pain and sadness you must feel. Life can be real hard sometimes... On the other hand, your baby seems to have real fun and enjoy playing with other kids there.That should give you strength and courage to carry on. I wish you the best

yes your right its really different if you have your own daughter. when i heard that my baby was busy playing with kids and heard her laughing i just wipe my tears and smile i was thinking that maybe her happiness is more important than mine coz in my place she doesnt have any playmate and she only used to play alone and watch tv with my mother and sleep almost all day at home. i know its a different environment for her coz in there she can go out and walk coz vehicles are seldom there unlike in the city.
