Started Daycare and we are all happier

I get exactly how you feel. It’s just a double edged sword. I wish I could hang out with my son all day but unfortunately it’s not feasible. He absolutely LOVES school and he gets so much stimulation. He is so happy when he goes and when he comes home. It’s so hard because I still feel guilt but I feel like no matter what, we always feel guilt because we care. If baby is thriving and happy, you are doing a great job! Remind yourself that you need to be happy as well!
I totally get it! But if this is what works best for the whole family, and it sounds like everyone is happy, then no need to feel guilty! You’re fulfilling another aspect of your child’s needs by providing for them. Your career doesn’t make you less of a mom🫶🏼
My husband was suggesting that maybe we do some kind of caregiving or daycare and I go back to work full-time so that I would be happier. Made me feel so guilty. I think the truth of it is motherhood is extremely extremely hard and some moms just seem to be saints I guess haha. I can relate though!!!
The way I think about it that helps me, is that a lot of moms don’t have the option to stay home and that doesn’t make them a bad mom, or that they’re not doing the full job. So if I wouldn’t say that to any other full time working mom, I wouldn’t say that to myself. I don’t know if that even makes sense haha but it helps me 🤷♀️ but I’m also pretty sure that a lot of moms feel guilty in one way or another 😵💫
