["Being a mom is such a struggle sometimes. On the one hand I really enjoy the break I get when my son stays with his grandparents. On the other I always feel a bit off kilter when he's not home with me."]
I totally understand what you mean. Peace and quiet is nice but I bet you miss your son when he is gone?
Whenever my son is going to stay with his grandparents overnight I get really excited for a short break. As soon as he's gone I almost feel lost and bored! It's always nice when he comes back home and we snuggle and I can just play toys with him. Him being home with me makes everything right in the world.
