The first time I left my son with my partner (the father) alone EVER I literally cried after 5 minutes of driving off and then calling him for reassurance that I wasn’t a bad mom. He made me feel better but I still felt mom guilt. Even now as he’s going to turn two in August, I still don’t want to leave him with anyone and try to hurry up and get back to him as soon as I can.
Absolutely feel the same. There's no chance I'd leave him, not even with his Dad 🫣 absolutely petrified I'm going to feel the same when going back to work.. so I'm trying to find a way to be a stay at home mum 🤣 My MIL is retired and will be looking after little man when I do go back to work but even that is making me so incredibly anxious. Tempted to become a child minder just so I don't have to leave him 🫣
12 weeks is still so new, don’t let anyone pressure you! It’s normal to not want to leave your babe yet, there’s lots of time for sleepovers when she’s older 🥰
I feel the same way. I can’t bear the thought of leaving her with a sitter or even family member. Idk how I’m going to go back to work. We spent almost a year creating this little lovey thing, I think we’re entitled to be anxious about leaving them.
