So on Saturday, it will be my husband and I's first wedding anniversary. We are going on a 7 hour road trip, which will include some hiking and one night of camping. This is spread over a span of 4 days. At first I was going to take my daughter with us. She's gonna 5 weeks old. But now my husband is strongly suggesting we leave her with my mom. I honestly am so torn about it. I know we should leave her, I mean I know it's the right choice. I just know I'll miss her and then I know I'll be down my moms throats cause we don't believe in the same parenting style. I just don't think I can leave her. How do I do this without losing my shit!?

Sounds like your mind is made up. Have fun on your trip it's needed! You'll come back a happy wife and mommy! @brismom
@emmajeremy2627, I've already changed the trip multiple times and this is the only idea I'm really excited about. I know I don't want to leave her but that doesn't mean I shouldn't. I can't be selfish about it. @tatiananoelani I'm not sure if I can comfortably say that I can not worry about leaving her with my mom but I know my mom can handle it, it just still worries me.
do you trust your mom 100% with your daughter?
I could never do that. if you dont want to leave your 5 week old then don't. you wouldn't enjoy the trip because you'd be missing your baby. I would do something that you can bring baby or go on a closer hike wear your daughter in a carrier and then go home. But if your already upset at the thought of leaving her then don't.
@tatiananoelani, that is true. Just gives me so much anxiety leaving her for days at a time. But I know that I have to leave her 😞
think of how young your daughter still is, and how it benefits her more being in a warm home rather than being with you in a cold environment. also think about how you and your husband deserve just alone time and having your daughter will have limitations to what you guys truly want to do. and I dont mean that in a bad way, I just mean that youll be more worried about her well being during those times that should be enjoyable and that puts strain on you when you should enjoy yourself
I understand that, and I understand your stand point on you two having different parenting styles. But as long as you know your mom can handle it, then keep that in your mind and know your daughter will be okay
