I am truly having challenges with going back to work. I am a SAHM with a 13 month old, currently 3 months pregnant and needing to go back to work. My husband's company is not doing well at all and we need a steady income. I recently graduated with my B.A. in Communication and am interviewing with a great company next week.
I am almost sick with worry about putting my toddler in daycare, and will have to put my new baby in day care at some point. I have shared my concern with friends/family and some of them have strong opinions with daycare. I would love it if you would please share with me your experiences...I am truly struggling with this and do not know what else to do.
I am concerned later on my children will have abandonment issues. I know it may sound silly, but I am being completely honest. Also, what if they turn against me out of frustration of being left most of the day in someone else's care. If I get this great job offer, may have to turn it down because I believe I will be putting my children's security in jeopardy.
Your children will not hate
Your children will not hate you and they will be fine in daycare. My girls are four and eight years old and I put them in daycare as infants. They are doing wonderfully now. Just check out the daycares carefully and make sure they are what you want.
Your concerns don't sound
Your concerns don't sound silly! As a mom, you well know that we worry about everything. Your concern shows your deep love for your children. My kids both enjoyed and benefited from daycare, and yours likely will, too. Even if they give you the pouty-face, or tears, when you leave them each morning, the minute you are out the door they have forgotten all about it and are enjoying their time with their friends! You may feel that they will turn against you, or feel abandoned, but trust me - your children will always know their mom is there for them. Their mom is the person who is up with them in the middle of the night. Their mom is the person who loves them unconditionally. Their mom is who makes their environment safe and secure. Now, let them explore that environment. They will make friends, they will make you adorable art projects to hang on the fridge, and they will greet you with a huge hug each day.
Your children will be fine.
Your children will be fine. Be choosy picking a daycare. My kids started going to daycare at 2 months (they are now 7, 6 and 4) and, although they no longer attend daycare, they are still close with several teachers they grew up with. The only sitters we have ever used are the teachers from the daycare. The ladies have become part of our family, and our children\'s lives have been enriched by the inclusion of their caregivers.
