Tell me it will be ok(nothing serious btw)

I emailed my old boss about coming back to the middle school I used to work at as a para. It would start in the fall, but after I sent the email, I almost felt like breaking down. I've spent all year at home with Joss, getting to play with her all day, have her nap on me, cuddling with her. I don't wanna go back to work. It would help us out financially-we were fine, but tight-and it's crazy, but I'm so nervous that she won't do good at daycare, she'll forget about me(I'm letting my imagination get the best of me on this), or it will be super tough on us both. Any words of wisdom from moms who went back to work? I know it'll probably be ok, but I've loved every second of being with her all day :((

    I had the same fear. But when I walk in to pick her up, there is no doubt I am her Mama. And I actually try to sneak in and pack her up before she sees me, because I have to pick her up the moment she sees me. And she is so much more advanced than I feel I could have gotten her. I feel daycare is where my LO needs to be.

    The more people who love and are involved in our child's life the better. Daycare is part of my people. I love DD's teacher they do so many more activities than I would ever think of at least once a week I get a stack of art and pictures. DD enjoys her time there a lot! Honestly, I think money stress is one of the worst kinds of stress. If the added income makes takes some of that stress away it is huge bonus.
    Well said! They are part of my people...I bounce decisions off them and often have them "test" out things before I do them at home (like napping schedule and reducing bottles). It takes a village :)

    We recently moved back to our hometown and one of the reasons was so that we could save a little money by having our moms watch our guy instead of sending him to daycare full time like we did before. Turns out that leaving our previous daycare, where he has only been for 6 months was way more difficult that leaving my 6+ year job... And now that we are here, I'm already trying to find part time daycare. Like others have mentioned, my guy loved his daycare and I think it was really best for him. I think it is good for him to interact with the other kids and he really loved it.

    We still enjoy our evenings together, and make sure to focus on family time on the weekends. Good luck, I'm sure the first few days will be tough, but you will all adjust. :)

    Thanks ladies, this makes me feel much better. Our neighbor does daycare and she's really great about making all the kids lunches herself and doing new crafts/play activities etc with them, so that makes me feel better if she's got J. I'm feeling a little better about doing this now, you ladies are great <3
