am i too sad?

Question

my kids are all gone with family and friends for two weeks, so my fiance and i have the house to ourselves. we should be enjoying it, but i'm sad, and miss my kids. am i too sad? or is this normal?

Answer 1

Probably normal....but think of your fiance. This is about him, not you.

Answer 2

Normal - try taking your mind off it by doing fun things with your fiance you wouldn't normally be able to do with the kids home. Have a naked picnic in the living room or something you would never do otherwise. You might end up not even noticing the kids are gone!

Answer 3

I think it is normal to feel sad, after all, you won't be seeing them for a while. But you should focus on doing what you want done and filling up your time while they are away. Take care of yourself for a change. Remember that you are also important, and that you don't have to focus on your children all the time (it's OK to focus on yourself). Get busy, read a book from the library, take a walk with your fiance, focus on doing things with him, get all your errands and projects done, catch up with friends and family. Stay busy, and before you know it, your kids will be back.

Answer 4

Not too sad, being sad is ok...........but being toooooooo sad isnt...missing the kids is normal, but if it interferes with your everyday normalsy something is wrong. you should be having a good time with your man, and doing things that you cant do when the kids are home. Whats going to happen when they leave the nest? you don't want emty nest syndrome....find somthing that interests you, go for walks, read, sex, tv, knit, something to keep your mind off from the kids and after a while you will be fine.......I am going to miss mine when they get older and move out to...

Answer 5

Yes it is normal. Your kids are an EVERYDAY part of your life and when they are gone you feel lost. BUT...take this time for yourself. You will be happy you did. Sleep late, do things together and enjoy it while you can and while you have it. They will be back. Call them regulalry. I feel sad and lost whever any of my kids are gone, but...it does not happen often so get out there and do some things you cant or dont do when your kids are home.

Answer 6

I guess it's normal. It just means that your a loving, caring mother which is a very good thing considering all the horrible parents out there that would love to pawn their kids off just for sex with there boyfriends of fiance's , But take my advice just enjoy it. If you love your children this much, you deserve it.

Answer 7

If your idea of sad is missing your kids and having the house to yourself with your fiance, then you have had a very, very, very blessed life. So be thankful.

Answer 8

No it's quite Normal. Because you have used to see your beloved children every day, but now they are not near you. 2 weeks is not a long time, I have not seen my 17 y/o daughter and 11 y/o son for the last six years. Pray for your children they will come back
in 14 days and will make you happy. Please don't worry at all.

With the best wishes for you and your beloved children.

Answer 9

I think it's normal to miss them, but honestly I would be out doing something that I couldn't do with the kids. Best wishes

Answer 10

it's just normal, make the most out of the time with your fiance, it's your chance to have the time for just the two of you...two weeks is a very short time.

Answer 11

depends, how old are the kids? under 15 you're normal older and you have a problem.

enjoy yourself but call them once a day to make sure they are ok. explain to whomever they are with that you are having a panic attack and need to call to help relax. If they are an adult they should understand how you feel and not get too upset about it.
