I have been at work for an hour and a half...feel sick to my stomach that I am not there comforting my sweet girl. There are no obvious signs of pain/hunger/sickness, so the babysitter thinks she is just having a bad/tired morning. How do you explain to a five month old that you love her so much, even if you can't be there all the time to play with her and comfort her when she is sad?
Usually I enjoy being a working mom--today is really tough.
Re: Babysitter just texted and said DD had been screaming since she arrived this morning!
Goodbye little angel(7/22/2011)....see you in heaven
Goodbye my second angel (9/18/2011)
IMO, she shouldn't have texted you that. As long as she is not sick, not running fever, not having diahrea (can never spell that word), etc.... then she shouldn't be stressing you out/making you feel guilty (even if that wasn't her intention). Babies do have days like that. Maybe she's fighting her sleep, maybe she's gassy, maybe she is just having an off day like we all do sometimes.
Don't feel guilty. LO will be ok, this day will soon pass and she will be back to her normal self soon.
That's hard. I try to remember, they have bad days when they are w/ me so of course it will happen with others as well.
I hope her day gets better.
This. Still it's hard some days
Hang in there!
