Working Moms

MAJOR sep. anxiety since working

What is weird is that I started part time in August, full time in September and it wasn't until the last 2 weeks that it started. My dd is 2 1/2 and is having major melt downs every day. She refuses to eat, watch tv, throws a fit to have her diaper changed, will not go anywhere. She just cries and yells "its mommy's turn!" :( She is breaking my heart.  She is watched by my mother and grandma soo I am really confused why its this bad.. you would think she would feel safe with them. I do not know what to do but I need to work in order to give her anything in life. IS this normal and how long can it last? Anyone else's DC react this way??? SHe cries the entire day long, She eventually cries herself to sleep too. I feel horrible

  • I'm so sorry, this sound horrible. I don't have any suggestions... since we haven't been there yet. Maybe pictures of you? Or some special time that you carve out special each day? Hang in there. My mom always said, "just when you think you can't take it (whatever stage they are going through at the moment) they change.". I hope that helps.

  • Are there any other kids at you moms?  Is there a playgroup they could get involved in to distract her?
