First week at daycare

My daughter started her daycare transition this week. I had a good idea of what to expect because I work in a daycare myself. What I wasn't prepared for is the emotional toll of having to say goodbye to her in the mornings. I think it will be easier once I am back at work on Monday because I won't be at home struggling to stay busy, watching the time pass. I really needed to vent so if you read this, thank you!

Aww Joline! This is a really hard transition emotionally (I'm not quite there full-time myself but have had the odd day). Thanks for being brave in sharing how you've been feeling and I hope that it gets a little less hard each day. 💕

My daughter will likely start end of this month and just thinking about saying goodbye to her and not see her for hours makes my heart ache 😭

I believe you! First day of daycare I cried and sat in the parking lot until his first day was over I needed to stay close to my baby and after a week I finally was able to get to work and not worry so much as I did in the beginning. I do still worry and think of my baby being in daycare while I’m at work although on my days off during the week I’ll keep my baby with me “ I refuse to bring him while I’m home and the house is so quiet ” I need my baby with me🤭

Thank you for sharing your stories on the subject as well. I appreciate it. It makes me feel like we are a support network for eachother.

I called my grandma crying the first Day I dropped her off.

Aww mama! It's a tough thing and im right there with you. I'm still going through it 2 months later even being back at work. It will just take time, how much we never know. It tough giving your little one to someone else after being with them day and night.
