Still upset about working

Am i the only one whos still upset about working? Ive been back since january and still cry every sunday/monday cause i miss her so much and wish i could be home with her. Unfortunately we cant afford for me to be home based on our expenses and my salary. I keep looking for work from home ideas or anything that would allow me to spend more time with her with no luck.
Are all you other working moms well adjusted and am i the only cry baby?

    I went back mid April and am having a hard time.  Just last week I had to start travelling again so I'm away overnight. This week I'm gone Mon-Thurs which will be really rough.  My husband is home with her though, it sucks to be the primary breadwinner.

    I went back about two and a half weeks after I had her and I still hate it everyday.

    I got laid off a week after LO got here and i'm still dreading going back eventually. I've only been off this long because of unemployment.  I have to find a job before that runs out. and I really don't want to go back, but like you don't have the ability even after we've paired down as much as possible (no smart phones, basic internet, no cable etc)

    I went back to work when J was 2 months old. 7 months later I still hate it. I don't mind a few days a week,but days 4 and 5sometimes 6 I'm emotional.

    I went back in October and I still hate it! I wish I could be home with him but I can't. You're not alone.

    I have a hard time with it.

    I feel like a bad mother because DD spends more time with the sitter than with her own mother.  I have summers off, so I guess I just justify it by looking forward to that time with her.  I know I'm giving her a better life, financially, by working.

    I teach, and while I don't love my new job as much as my old one, I still love teaching. I rarely feel bad going to work. I also only work part time, which helps.

    Do you have any flexible options at all in your current position?
