Six months back to work and still miss DD like crazy

[scarecrow22]

Another Monday morning and I still ache with wanting to be with my sweet smiley warm-hearted cheeky little girl, not slogging into work for four days of virtually not seeing her. Does this ever get any easier?
My DD has a fabulous childminder she loves, and I have a great job and get Fridays off, and a good husband who does pick up and bed time. I'm not ungrateful, I just yearn to be with her more. There is no Answer, I just wondered if other mums feel like this, and is it always thus? I read a line yesterday (in Jeanette Winterson's fabulous Why Be Happy...) which resonated: the measure of love is loss. It feels like a little bit of that every day!
Anyway my sympathy to other Monday Mums

Aaah I am going back to work soon - I feel your pain. I will really miss DD I feel like she is a part of me, and at thirteen months she is now really good company! I really hope it does get easier with time x

I felt like this too. Right from the moment I had dd1 I lost interest in my job and only went back because I had to become fully qualified. You are right in that there is no answer though.

I went part time after qualifying and still desperately missed dd. I actually gave up work after having dc2 but found being a SAHM boring (mainly due to the fact we had no money or transport to do anything!) so I compromised and worked from home as a childminder but found I detested working from home. Went back to work and I still miss the dcs! It is much easier now they are both at school though.

Make the most of your Fridays - it will get easier as she gets older.
