Going back to work when you child is 3+...

I have an interview tomorrow for a part time job (3-4 days a week).  I also have 2 meetings on Friday with 2 different preschool/daycares because I want both kids together but want my older one in a preschool setting instead of a regular daycare.

I guess I'm just sad about the whole thing. I WANT to work for the money, ability to use my brain in different ways, the break from the kids.....but I'm SO sad about the transition for my kids, especially my 3 year old.  He keeps saying that 'this is not a good idea' when I tell him about going to work a few days a week.  He is not very social despite me putting him in lots of classes and playgroups. I'm really having a hard time imagining him having to be with a ton of other kids all day. He's super sensitive.......

I'm sure I sound like every mom who has done this...but if you have done it I'd love to know how it went.

TIA!

    I haven't been in your situation at all, but I think he's probably sensing your apprehension and is looking to you for reassurance.  I don't want to say too much more since I really have no experience, but I think the more OK you are with it, the more OK your kids/family will be with it.  Good Luck with your interview!
