Phoning/call from mum & dad
Show your support
That’s an awfully long time to leave a toddler, must be incredibly important for them to leave them that long
Why though?
Ok, let's not be so judgy. This is supposed to be a safe space for questions. Now that being said, I feel like if you're going to be gone for a long period of time it is important to call your little as much as you can. I don't think they'll forget you, but just to let them know that you miss them and love them.
@Tiffany alot of people who may not have the option or support 🙄 stop judging unless youre perfect
@Evie I could argue that you sure need lots of support to be able to leave them that long. I sure don't have anyone that should be willing to watch mine for 10 days. And I'm sorry, barring really weird circumstances, I'm completely judging anyone willing to leave their toddler that long.
My toddler sleeps at my mums for a week, I don’t see why everyone cries about it, you can’t get the support not other peoples fault don’t judge! When my little one is away I like to video call every morning, after dinner and before bedtime x
In my experience, toddlers don't really understand a disembodied voice on the phone even if they have a lot of phone experience and its someone they know, but they *love* video calls. They like to see the other person and they also like to see themselves if you turn the camera on them. I think it would be nice to do as many calls as is realistic, but especially bedtime, in the morning, and a while each day whnere they can wander around and just play while the adults chit chat.
My 18 month old babbles and waves at my mum on video call, that's the only way she knows her grandma as we are in different countries She met my mum at 6weeks old and 7-8 month old, so I feel like it's a good way for them not to forget... Also though... I couldn't leave her for more then a night or 2... Just not for me, why have a kid when you're ok to leave them for that long, once they are older fair game
Best for a toddler would be not leaving them for 10 days. Wtf, who does that?!?!
