Return to work

My daughter is almost 19 months, I have been very fortunate to have this time with her (I decided to quit my professional job as couldn’t see it working part time) we are together 247 but recently my mother has been having her the odd day to get used to the change that is about to happen I’ve been fine getting house cleaned etc but the thought of now starting a job and leaving her it’s still only part time has me soooo upset to the point I’m questioning if it’s normal I’m now having unusual thoughts like if my mum doesn’t reply that something bad has happened I’ve cried myself to sleep for days we went to visit a nursery today we left her for ten minutes and I burst into tears, everyone keeps telling me it’ll be great it’ll be a break I don’t want a break I want a pamper shower every now and then that’s it I don’t want to go out with my partner I want to go out as a family I don’t know if this feeling is normal just wondering if anyone else has felt the same

I’m a smother ! 😂 openly admit it I left my job and am a SAHM to a 3 year old and 7 month old I didn’t let my oldest start nursery until he turned 3 and It’s across the road from our street and I used to cry at the thought of him going he only does 3 morning 8:30 while 11:30 and the first day felt like hours but now it flys and although I miss him so much I’ve seen him come on leaps and bounds!

I think every mother is different and this is normal for you. I think it’s lovely that you love your baby so much that you want to spend all this time with her. She’s a very lucky baby to have you as her mama 🥰

I think it's conpletely normal and i was the same with my 2 year old, she started nursery and I'd drop her off and walk home in floods of tears but now she is thriving and she has come right out of her shell from being around people other than me, it so important they mix with others as even though I loved playing with her all day she was deffinately ready to play with someone other than me for a while😆 I now wouldn't have it any other way. I even value that break now to rest and recharge and get things done so that all of my attention when she's home is all for her and not on the housework or anything! Just quality time with my little one🥰 I agree with the comments above though, she does indeed seem a very lucky kiddo to have you! It's nice to see someone talking about motherhood with genuine love and not just nitpicking at the bad bits x
