Kids & Food:working mom feeling guilty
2007-03-01
Name: feelin_guilty



Hi friends,

I' m sure there are lot of working moms out there who share the same feeling of perpetual guilt leaving thier young toddlers at home / with in laws or at day care centers.
I had taken a sabbaticale from work for 1 year and had the advantage of spending all the time with my new born. I started work after my lil one turned 1yr, its been 6 months but the strong guilt still remains and haunts me every time my lil one cried when I step out of home.
It sometimes bothers me to the extent that I think of quitting work and taking over the role of full time mom....
girls, could you share your stories and how did you cope up with this situation....
Trust, it will be a great help.

my baby is 5 months old now and I' m leaving her in a good day care center 3 days a week..2 days I work from home...

I also felt very guilty in the beginning but now as she is growing up, I think its good because she is able to interact with other infants her ...that would have been impossible at home...

Since your kid is more than a yr old, why dont you try a good day care center...it would be good for yr baby to play with others her age...and she wouls not cry so much also when you leave her...

It will be very difficult the first few days leaving her with strangers...but as I said, if the day care is good, then the kid will adapt faster than you think...my baby cried the first couple of days and I would go and spend time with her during lunch..but after a month now, she hardly even notices I' m gobe...she' s so busy looking at everything ang playing with her new toys etc...:)

Hope this helps...
