Hi you lovely ladies,
I have been back at work for nearly 3 months and having had an awful settling in period for both my daughter and I at the end of last year (normal settling in teething troubles for daughter + constant cold / bugs for both of us) we are both settled in. My job itself is great and I am working 4 days a week and with hours that mean I can pick my daughter up from her childminder at 5.30 and have an hour or so with her before bed - BUT I feel guilty all the time. Sometimes I can ignore it when I am busy at work but it creeps up on me and fells me a few times a day. It feels like an ache in my heart. I feel guilty that someone else is looking after her and that she has to be out in the world on her own without her mummy so young (she is 13 months old now).
How do you working Mummys cope with this. Am I alone in this - I'm guessing not!
Thanks in advance. x
