Home alone for one week

Today my wife and my baby daughter went to visit my wife home. At first I thought it would be OK. But now I am feeling so empty and quiet. I don't want to do anything. Home alone without my baby crying. Time seems to pass slowly then ever.

Yes. I am sure. We feel the absence of babies because their smile is sweet and they do as we want. Yes you can take her on your lap,pet her, sing a song for her and make her happy. This is the reason why you are missing your daughter. But your point that you do not mind your wife's absence -- please do not allow her to read these discussions -- she may get annoyed (fun) this is the lovely time in your life. Spend more time with your wife, daughter. restrict your outings and try to make your daughter happy and happy.

I think I am unable to wait for a whole week. I am planning to visit them anyway. My wife has been sick (influenza) for two days. I let them go because it seemed not so serious at the beginning. Now I am worried because the child may get sick while being fed. Can that happen? She is only 2-month old.

That would be a nice surprise for you to visit them.I think your child could get sick and you could too.Influenza can be caught in my opinion.Just be careful and good luck.I know you miss them :)

Hi. nguyenminh181. Welcome to myLot! Time will pass as soon as you know it. Maybe you can try calling your wife so that you can hear her voice. This may make you feel so much better. It is very normal to feel empty when all of your family is gone from the house. If all of my kids would be gone, I would feel this same way too. Whenever my husband used to take all of our children to the store with him, I was very lonely, and the house was so quiet. I am so used to having my kids in the house with me. It was strange feeling like that. I think that you should keep your mind occupied so that you won't get so lonely while your wife and your daughter is gone to her family's home.

What really make me sad is because I am missing my 2-month old daughter. When she was at home she cried, smiled, laughed. I am missing my wife to but not that much. I just want my baby back home now.

I hope you're feeling better already, to have television, radio? Or perhaps you could go out with friends, or go to the cinema or even shopping. If you are feeling lonely, perhaps you could go to a restaurant or a pub where there are lots of people. Probably best to find something that you usually enjoy doing to keep you occupied, I hope this helps.

Yes, Bellapop. I have TV, Video Games, Internet, an Kindle to read and other things. But I have most fun playing with my daughter now. That's why the fact that she's not here makes me feel empty. I've got news from my wife. She is feeling better now. Thank you all for concern.
