Mom guilt..

My daughter is moving up from the infant classroom at daycare to th 12-24 month classroom tomorrow. I work at 730am so her dad will be bringing her because I have to be gone before she even wakes up. I feel guilt and really want to be there for drop off. Should I call into work the first hour so I can be there? Am I making it a bigger deal than it should be? Do you think my work will be upset with me?

I hate that work keeps us from moments and memories with our families that you can never get back. I say call in late and go with your daughter if it's important to you!

If you wanna be there go! One hour off work never hurt anybody. These are moments you won't get back.

It's always worth asking work for an hour late you can always make it up later if they won't let you take holiday

Coming from someone who missed a lot of first for my oldest daughter was gut wrenching! At that time I was a single mom and went to work to provide! If decide to go to work ask your husband to take lots of pictures! If your work allows you to take the hour take off if not have hubby take pictures

I'd go. This is more important.

If she’s pretty adaptable little girl then go. If she’s not good with change I wouldn’t. If dad takes her like he usually does, then she sees a new class and teacher I feel like it would be a bit easier for her if she’s nervous about change. If you’re there it may make her a little excited to have you there and then you leave her with a new person in a new class. Seems like more of a let down.

At the end of the day, this moment you'll never get back. And if its important to you than go 🤗

I would go simply for the ease of mind in knowing what her new environment will be like

Thank you everyone!! I decided to go and so glad I did 😊
