Feeling like a bad mom

[GGS01]

My 16 month old has always been attached to his dad. I have been a SAHM so far but am going back to work very soon. He has been in nursery for 2 weeks now and I was hoping he would prefer me a little more once he starts nursery. But he still wants his dad all the time and doesn't seem to care that he doesn't see me all day long. I have left him with his dad once or twice for 5+ hours and he didn't even realise I was gone. Now am so scared about going back to work. I feel he is going to ignore me more since I wont be able to spend much time with him after work. I take care of the cooking and cleaning, so he is going to have fun time with his dad in the evenings and might forget I even exist.
How has it been for other working moms? Do you think your babies stopped needing you after you started working?

Share the cooking and cleaning with his dad so that you get an equal amount of fun time with him?

It's something I will have to convince my husband to do. He hates cooking and won't even make a cup of tea. I was going to let him see for himself how much I miss my son and hope he volunteers a bit more in the kitchen.

It's one thing to do the cooking & cleaning if you're a SAHP but once you're at work you need to discuss with your OH about a fair split of chores. This isn't about your child preferring one of you, this is about the fact you're being lumbered with the crap jobs.
