To be anxious about working away

[BlueCookieMonster]

Basically we’re doing a bit of a big move, and part of what may happen is that I go first to start work and sort logistics and stuff out.

I know ultimately my kids will be fine, they have a full time parent at home (they have disabilities so dh is carer). But I am worried and feel a bit guilty about taking that step.

Probably a bit silly over something which will be a small part of their lives ultimately.

Needs must. And it's so much easier to sort out practical things when you aren't caring for kids at the same time.

True! I think if it was dh doing this he’d just be like ‘see ya, give me a call if you need me.’

It’ll be a tough transition but as you say, they have their other parent with them who is more than capable of caring for them. You’re providing for your family and setting a great example for them when they get older and see their kick ass working mum going out and earning a living for the family. A major part of parenting is accruing resources to ensure your kids are fed and clothed and warm which is exactly what you’re doing and you should be proud of that!
