For those of you who have issues leaving LO...

Im having a rough time today. Ive been back to work for 2 months. Baby has been at babysitters for 3 weeks (she was with DH in the beginning). It has been going well so im very grateful and I trust my babysitter completely. This is also my 3rd child and ive always been a working mom, so this is not new to me.

Why does it bother me so much then? This morning my daughter watched me walk out after dropping her off and it just hit me how unnatural this whole process feels. Im torn though because i do like my job. I just need to vent to someone who might understand. I m in a crappy mood today...

This just reinforces my fears that it never gets easier. I have been back at work since November and it is hard everyday for me! I still cry on my way to work sometimes. But it does feel more routine just not easier.

I live and breathe for my baby and leaving her in the morning is utterly painful.

sorry to make you feel this way. Let me reinforce i did not have this issue with my first two. It may have been becasue their grandmothers watched them and i didnt have to take LOs out of the house. It also may be that this is my last and i have a special connection, or it may be that i have PMS

Who knows. But i get my moments. Also, work sucks right now (even though i said i like my job it is very difficult these last few weeks) so that may have something to do with it

I am having such a hard time too. I have been back to work since Oct and was ok. But now that Cora is getting older and so fun to play with it is even harder to leave her. She loves daycare and playing with other kids and her sitter is amazing. I would just like to work part time. I feel like I miss out on so much being at work all day and only getting 2 hours to spend with her at night. Hugs:)

It's Monday.  You've been at home all weekend loving on your kids.  I think it is very natural to feel bummed out.  Hang in there.
