Feel sad today

[Ann07]

My boss phoned me today if i could go to work just for a short briefing before coming back to work on thursday. I feel so sad .... the fact that i will be leaving my son for the first time. Although, im always away from the house leaving his dada in charge of our little boy but just for a few minutes or an hour not 6 to 7 hours a day and 3 days a week I will miss my son

Is anybody here exp this? How did you cope with it? you must be so brave... thanks po

Im sure its gonna be tough being away from your wee bonnie baby.

Not got a kid so cant relate how it will feel for you.

But I guess thinking how your making a better life for you and your family will help

Your brave you made the big move to Scotland and which i bet many of us blokes would not be able to do as well as you and the other Ladies

I know it will be tough but your be fine Maam The six or seven hours will fly by and asbence makes the heart grow fonder. So it will be great to come back to see your baby with even more love for your baby

Thanks for that reassuring words andypaul It means a lot to me.

I never thought i would feel this way as the day of coming back to work is getting nearer My husband is so supportive on every decisions i make, i coudnt think of words of how i am so blessed to have him. He is always there to comfort me and beg me to stay at home wahhhhhhhhh just kidding just making an effort to smile

We will just give it a go for a few weeks if its the good idea. But if doesnt workout then i have to stop. My family comes first

my wife was back at work just after 4wks of giving birth, mainly because she was not entitled to paid maternity leave

not wanting to leave our son with a baby minder or worse a nursery, my wife got her 17yr old son to come from the phils to look after him for 18months , now he's cared for by a baby minder for 5hrs a day, and he's doing great, he likes it so much with the baby minder, he doesn't want to come back home .......

don't worry, it just gives you a reason to get home ASAP every day only to find he's ripped off more wallpaper, damaged everything, put the car keys in the dustbin, etc...

[marylen]

oh soon to come i can relate all your feelings as am so excited being a first time mom...even at this point i don't feel like to get things for me instead i would loved to spend and choose all from mah baby ...unlike before its all for my own....lol. those lil changes i feel as days goes by helps me grown up as a mature individual. Then months later, surely i would be able to say what a wonderful feeling to hold your lil angel soon in real.......mwahhhhhhhhhhhhh....just gets so excited...


Well...about you Anne, its kinda so depressing yea to be away from your son even just in a few hours, oh my....i guess thats the hardest that each mom have to dwell with. If only we can tag our lil mini wherever we are, that so lovely to go own our life day by day even how much sacrifice we put up into, they came out through our own blood and no feelings can describe how much we badly care and value them a lot so.....they are the apple of our eyes, it inspired us to go work harder and see them healthy and beautifully each day.......................so Anne no worries, everything will be fine, what you did is all for the best, every each mom needs to have a better preparation of our kids and working enough is one of the said so...you can get used to it soon in time.....just give a go in a few days...lets see how you handle the situation if how long you can manage.....if yes you can......i salute you for being a brave one kind. good luck

[KeithD]

The kid will probably be pleased to see the back of you, all those goo goo noises you make, forcing it to play with plastic, feeding it mush ......as soon as you're back at work it'll be on with the Discovery Channel, and babs can sit back and enjoy the wonderful subject of Quantum Mechanics.

my wife took little joe to see some nurseries, and she picked the best one, but didn't like the way they tired to get him being use to being there on his own without his mom, the poor guy was traumatised. so we took him to our baby minder for 5hrs a day instead, he's very happy now, as he is use to being with the baby minder, nurseries don''t have much 1 to 1 time with each child.

little joe will not go anywhere near a nursery until he's at least 3

[Geraldine]

Hi Ann,

Dont worry you and your little one will be fine. In my case Im just glad Im back to work. It just gives me the time off I needed. Taking care of 2 little boys are stressful. Its just nice to be outside seeing and talking to different people for a change. Anyway I only work 2-3x a wk in the mornings so its not that bad. Dont get me wrong, I love my kids to bits but sometimes us mums need a break as well. But when I get home from work, nothing can beat the feeling of 2 little boys excitedly want a cuddle from mum! Specially Adam who is 7months, once he sees me he will start to flap his arms and jumps on his Dads lap, wanting to be cuddled bless him.

My 3yr old son has been going to nursery since he was 2 but only once a week in an afternoon session. He is fine so far, the staff were great and he loves to play with other kids. It amazes me that inspite of going once a week, he learns alot from nursery..like shapes, colors, songs etc. and when he is in nursery...it means its my day off! and for once I wont be watching CeeBeebies all day long.

[aromulus]

and for once I wont be watching CeeBeebies all day long.

Yeah, right......

You just wait........

Then it will re-recorded shows time and time again, until you learn every single word by heart.....

[Geraldine]

Oh my I do know most of the songs... the characters...I even sing them without me realising it! it sometimes drives me mad

[amyburple]

GOD BLESS YOU
