My almost 3 year old cries when I go to work. She holds my hand and says she wants me to stay with her and my 1 year old. She points to the nappy box (with a Mum holding a baby) and says she wants us to do that. She says she will phone my boss and tell him he's naughty and mummy isn't going to work. When I leave she is clingy and she cries and holds out her arms as I wave goodbye. It breaks my heart to drive/walk away. At first it was kinda cute, but now it really upsets me. She's too young to understand that as the breadwinner I HAVE to go. I feel guilty but does anyone have any advice on how to deal with it?
