Just needed to get things off of my chest.

So my mom took my daughter to michigan when she left south carolina. It was only suppose to be for two weeks but now that she's up there my dad has told me that he can't get any vacation time until november 10 ( a month from the time she left) What the F*** am I suppose to do? Should I go get her, which would mean taking time off of my new job driving to michigan hurting my parents feelings and taking my daughter (who loves her grandparents very much) from them. Or should I wait for them to bring her back, which means I have to wait a month before I hold my daughter and give her hugs and kisses again. I mean I miss her so much already. I know that I can't just go get her, but how could my dad do this to me. He knows my daughter is everything to me and I know that he and my step mom love her, but she's my daughter and I haven't been without her for more than a day or two her whole life. I mean the only other option I have is to punish them by not letting them see her for a while, which would also be like punishing me and my daughter, because I and her love my parents. Sorry this is on the long side and if some of it doesn't make any sense, I just needed to get some things off of my chest. And if anyone has suggestion on how to keep my mind off of my daughters little hugs and kisses that would be great too.

I know that it is really hard. I havent been away from my daughter since she was born either. I am a stay at home mom---so maybe since u actually get out, u dont think about this.  BUT ......dare I say it.....pampaering yourself? ........may I syggest filling in those days with pedicures, massages,  reading a book u  have always wanted to read, cooking brownies (lol) , decorating her room, going somewhere with out having to take a child out of her car seat, and putting ther back in. Thats right somthing for your self.  I have a 17 month old and have a list of things I would do if I could have just one day off.  well goodluck and dont worry --they are your parents---she will be fine-----you turned out ok --right! come check out my page and let me know what u think.    lauren armstrong
