Oh yes Skygirl, I've been there!!!!It seems that when the mom is the worrier and loses sleep over children, the husband is the type to nod off in a minute and never loses a night of sleep.Just when you really need the support!!!What used to help me(my children are older now and on their own) when they were out late is that I would tell myself that all the worry in the world...in fact, pounding my head against the wall(exaggeration to be sure but makes the point) would not change the outcome one iota(if anything might or might not happen). So, I'd better get my rest because if something does happen I'll be better able to deal with it and if it doesn't, the worry was for naught!!Sounds simple, but the best advice usually is!!Good Luck!! You're probably a very good mother and deserve the rest!!!!
