hi everyone

im sure most of you have gone through this feeling just before you started work again, but i feel terrible.

I am going to go back in may, 25 hours per week, and the lo won't be in the nursery for that long, 1 or 2 hours after i have dropped him off, DH will pick him up, i dont know why i feel like this, but it is hard to explain, its as if i am abandoning him.

I have no other choice though, I have to pay to renew my visa in July and there is no way we can afford that on one wage.

my mum said it gets easier and it is harder for me, and that he will love the nursery and stuff but argggh i feel awful.

I dont know why im posting really, i suppose i just need a bit of reassurance and hearing that there are loads of working mums out there and kids love nursery.

thanks for reading

it was extermemly hard for me to let alfie go to nursery i felt like i was letting him down in some way!!
he goes 5 mornings a week and for the first week i cried constantly,considered giving my job up and hassled my health visitor!!!
but it does get easier, i now work 3 long days alfie still goes 5 mornings and waves me off at the front door and shakes his legs in excitement to get to nursery, they are great with him.
the best thing is the look on his face when i get to pick him up
i enjoy my work but love coming home and spending time with my family
