Come back to work

Hi everyone!Today I was thinking about come back to work in a couple of months. I feel so sad just to think about it.I was crying the whole afternoon and I feel I'm failing my daughter.She needs to go to a nursery long hours and I feel terrible about it but also I need to pay the mortgage. It's so hard to be a mum. I was thinking also to work from home but I don't have any idea what I can do. I guess is more people like me.

There is nothing to feel guilty about I have worked in a nursery where the children have been there from 7:30 am to 6:30 pm and they thrive and love and play and are always excited to see their parents sometimes they can get really tired towards the end but always find the energy to run towards you when you walk in It can be hard on you more then the child especially when your both first starting but if you have the right people at the nursery they can reassure you throughout the first few days so you know that they're not just upset they do start to settle in and play Hope this helps in some way

Unfortunately, we live in a time where (for the most part) both parents need to work to be able to pay the bills and live! I'll be going back to work next year and my baby will be going to nursery, but I'm alright with that as I know she will benefit from it too.

Have you considered a child minder? We did this with our first born and I felt much happier leaving her knowing it was a home from home environment and she had the same person looking after her each day, she also absolutely loved it and loved being around other wee ones who she saw every week. We just did 3 days a week.

I know Chloe I work in a nursery at the moment on maternity and I understand what you said but I feel so guilty probably I can take her with me but not in the same class. Just to think about it breaks my heart. I never thought I will feel in that way.
