It's tough being a mommy, whether you work outside the home in addition to being a fulltime mommy or not.<BR/><BR/>It's only natural and healthy to miss your babies. Give it a couple of weeks and everything will settle down. As my mother says, "This too shall pass." In the meantime try not to be too hard on yourself.<BR/><BR/>ChristyChristy AKA Trippin' Mamahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16281841454592589174noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7707332630639933436.post-72910449656975240862008-08-30T21:57:00.000-04:002008-08-30T21:57:00.000-04:00Oh Sarah, I feel your pain! Those simple words of ...Oh Sarah, I feel your pain! Those simple words of "I miss my babies" say so much! I know what you are going through - when my eldest two (twin girls, now five) were almost the exact same age as your girls, I went back to work teaching. I only managed to last about four months, before I packed it in, and stayed home with my girls. I used to drop them off at child care, and spend my half an hour drive to school crying my eyes out, that I was leaving my babies, to go and teach someone else's kids. It just didn't seem right. But we needed the money, or so we thought. Well, I don't know how it works over in America, but we soon realised that after I lost my government assistance, and added child care in, I was bringing home an extra $50 a week, and that wasn't including my fuel bill, with the half hour drive every day to and from school! So it didn't take much to convince my partner, that I might as well stay home! It was the best decision I ever made, and have never ever regretted it!<BR/><BR/>Whether or not this is achievable for you, I don't know, I just wanted you to know that I really feel your pain.... and you are so much tougher than me for sticking it out! I really hope it gets easier for you soon. Life is tough being a working mummy! (Or Mommy, as you yanks say!) <BR/><BR/>Take care,<BR/><BR/>Danielle.Daniellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02957337984174283535noreply@blogger.com
