My mom took DD to the doctor today because I have to work. DD has a double ear infection. When they were cleaning her ears, they scraped a nerve and it started bleeding. She was crying a lot (according to my mom). She went home and fell right to sleep. I feel terrible that I cannot be there for my little one. I know my mom is pretty much as good as me (grandma is her favorite), but I feel so bad. I teach, so instead of taking care of my own daughter, I have to take care of 120 other kids that are not mine. Normally I am good with this and LOVE my job. Today I just want to go home and cuddle with my little girl. I feel like a terrible mom.
You're not a terrible mom, most of us can't leave at the drop of a hat either. You'll make up for it with extra cuddles tonight. Plus Grandma is the best alternative you said so yourself.
