[michamoriarty]

hi i'm due to go back to work in eight weeks, i work full time in a school and the thought of leaving ds2 all day is making me feel ill!! and every time i think about it i get really upset, i have two other kids 9 and 11 and was lucky enough to live abroad with them and didn't return to work till they were 3 and 18mths. I feel so sad at the thought of leaving my lo all day its taking away the enjoyment of the rest of my time off! anyone felt feel the same, advice would be greatly appreciated.

I felt exactly the same with both of mine. The reality was far less painful than the prospect - ie once I was back at work and I could see that they were well cared for and happy, it wasn't as hard as I feared. Will admit I had tears both times! Take time now to get yourself really organised for when you go back to work - e.g. make double portions of meals etc and freeze - so that you can spend as much time as possible with your little one in the evenings before he goes to bed.
