I am a proud MOM of my toddlers!
My toddlers has been sleeping on their own bedroom for a month now. I had this anxiety separation on the first couple of nights, because I'm used with them sleeping on my side for four years. And I mean about, eversince my eldest child was born which was Sept. 2005. At first, I was very excited that finally they will sleep on their own room.
I wasn't able to sleep good that couple of nights, because I felt weird, stranged, nervous, you name it. I get-up every couple of minutes and take a peek on their bedroom, making sure they were okey. I know it sounds funny, specially their bedroom is just next to mine. But gosh, that first couple of nights wasn't easy for me to be honest. Will you call it anxiety separation? Because for me, that what it feels like. Anyway, I am okey now and getting used with it (I guess). It's just that, I did not expect to experienced such anxiety just because my kids will finally sleep on their own bedroom.
Are you a mom who experienced the same thing as me? Please let me know! Geeze, I can't imagine myself once they've grown-up and be able to live on their own. I am not so looking forward into that! But I do feel proud that they finally learn how to be independents without mommy sleeping by their side at night... it's a big relief on my side at the same time.. sigh! It sure is not easy to be a Mom.

hi there! My eldest daugther sleeps on her own bed now, and my youngest who is 4 months old has her own Moses basket just beside our bed--so she is basically sleeping with me. It's easier and practical when one is still breastfeeding. but I'm like you--when I my eldest started sleeping on her own--checking her all the time and so anxious--up until now.
