I go back to work next month and I’m dreading it. A family is caring for her n I keep telling her she has to change the way she does something’s like feeding bc it’s causing her gas n she still tries to do it her old school way bc it’s my first child n she had “experience.” I don’t want to go back either but ik I have to in order to give her a better life 😭😭. I’ve been looking for wfh jobs with similar benefits tho.
I head back on the 26th and I’m in the same building as him, but it makes me feel like a horrible mom. I melted down the other night asking my husband if he’s going to think I’ve abandoned him or I don’t care enough to stay with him. It’s hard to not think that way. I had a friend say it’s harder on the moms than the babies. Not that it makes it any better.
I go back to work in October, too, and finding a daycare we really like is helping me. I feel sad I’ll miss out on time with him, but I am also looking forward to going back to work and starting that new routine.
I dreaded it with my 2 year old but our daycare is awesome and we love it. It was a lot less hard than I thought jt would be when we started. Also when you start them that young they don’t cry at drop off bc they just aren’t aware yet and they will go into anyones arms. So I think it’s easier to start younger. I started her at 8 months but I’m planning to start him at 5-6 months. Also I personally think babies benefit a lot from daycare and it’s good for them to be with a variety of adults I think they learn more and get more out of it than just being home with one person all the time. My daughter learned so many things in daycare we would not have taught her herself. Plus she gets way less screen time bc no screens are allowed at my daycare so tv isn’t running in the background etc.
So many great points! I’m definitely going to try and focus on the positives. There’s no getting around the fact that I will miss being with her all the time but I think adjusting my perspective will help a ton
Hey mama! My baby starts this week and I've been feeling the exact same way. I don't want to be apart from him 😭 But we gotta do what we gotta do. I started working weekends a couple weeks ago. It is such a difficult adjustment... But when you get home from work, seeing your kiddo will be even better. They will be okay and we will be okay! It will just take time. We got this!
