Just wondering if anyone has any strategies for dealing with the guilt of returning to work full time? I have been working part-time since last September (2 days, gradually increasing) but from this week will be full time again due entirely to financial necessity. I miss my DD (now 17 months) so much, and feel so guilty about not being able to take care of her, or see her through the day. I have 1.5 hrs with her in the morning, quite rushed of course before dropping her at nursery at 8am, and by the time I get home after 6pm she is already in the bath (DH picks her up around 4ish). I know this is probably entirely normal but I am just so sad that I am not getting any quality time with her any more. Would really appreciate some reassurance that other mums have done this and that their children still grow up to love them!
