I have to go back to work in a week. I'm having a hard time even thinking of leaving DD (even if it is with my MIL).
And this post on the Working Mom Board for my all upset. A$$hole boss.
I went back to work this week and was very upset and my male boss (who is a vp) knew just how upset I was. My DD is being watched by my mother in law during the day. Wednesday morning he came up to me and was like how was this morning and I said better I DIDN'T CRY. Then he said its going to be hard when her first word is grandma and when you MIL calls to say you missed her first step. Then he started laughing like it was the funniest thing he ever said. I wanted to smack him in the face. Then the rest of the week anytime he needed me it started with a comment about does your daughter still reconginze you- just wait till on the weekends she would rather be with her grandma.
Re: I can't stop crying today...
Are you f-ing kidding me?!! That is ridiculous! I probably would smack him!
But I know what you're going through-I go back to work next Tuesday and I'm dreading it. We are sending our LO to a daycare center.
That guy is an ass. Plain and simple.
Yes it is tough being a working mom, but you WILL be fine. It's definitely hard, but your baby will always love you, run to YOU when you pick them up, and know that you love them. I've been a working mom for a long time now and it's definitely the best decision for us.
I am so sorry. I cried and cried when I had to come back.
That girl's boss is a douche.
What an @$$... does he even have kids?
I came back to work today, and everyone has been so nice about it, asking if I'm ok, telling me it's ok to cry a little and to leave a little early if I want. I hope your boss/coworkers are more like mine than hers!
Today is my first day back at work...this morning was the hardest thing I had to do! But, as the day goes on it gets better. Just remember, you are working to give her the best life possible! :-)
