I wish I didnt have to go back to work...

I know I have a good career...blah, blah, blah....but I am starting to become really sad that I will not be with my son everyday.

I wish we would sustain our liefstyle on one income! I didnt think I would feel this way---yes, I miss my job and going to the city everyday...but, I will miss my son and not knowing what is going on with him second to second.

I am also apprehensive about leaving him with people---as it is now, when I leave him for 3 hrs I need to know when he ate, what he did etc

ok...vent over...

I am dreading that day in August when he goes to daycare. So far it has been easier to go back to work because DS is with DH. But it is inevitable for us so I am trying to prepare myself - although we are never really prepared for it, right?

Does your day care gives you a daily report? It might help so that you know what happened during the day. Also our daycare will let us put up pictures on the crib so that DS can look at us. We have been trying to take pictures with bright colors to use so that it will draw his attention when he is laying down.

I am in the same situation. I returned back to work 5mths ago and I think it has gotten easier for me. Dont get me wrong I want to know min by min details. I even made a sheet up for my nanny so I know how many times he went to the bathroom, how many bottles, how many ozs, his sleeping schedule etc.

It does get easier, it just takes some conditioning.

I wish I didnt have work but my paycheck miraculously gets deposited

Re: I wish I didnt have to go back to work...

I totally know how you are feeling. I am returning to work at the end of August after being home sice Bella was born. As much as I miss parts of my job, I am going to miss her sooo much more. She's starting to do more and more each day and I am so afraid of missing something. I'm also a control freak when it comes to her. I need to know what she's eaten, what she's done, if she pooped. I can't imagine a stranger being with her all day doing all the things I do with her.

All I can offer you is Hope we both get through it.

I am a control freak with him also...so far he has only been left with family--I totally trust everyone (as in they wont kill him) but i wonder if they are interacting with him etc.

i hate this
