Hi Terri, I haven't been through this when my babies were very young, now 2yrs & 9mths but i'm going through this now, I started working 1 month ago, I'm 5 mths pregnant and i work split shift, 9-1 & 4-7:30, so i almost don' get to see them, I felt guilty too and I miss them as well, so i just decided to quit and get a job with different timings, then i won't have to feel any guilt cuz it'll be better for them(we need this money). I think it just depends on the reasons for working, if u r working to provide for ur baby or at least make his/her life bettter and ur timings r good(money do make our life easier and happier sometimes), then u shouldn't have no guilt, but if u r working for ur career growth or somethin like this and spend a lot of time on this then its a bit selfish, so i guess u just need to balance everything out, set priorites, and u'll be fine.
Good luck ↑ |

| Don't worry - babies can't tell the time anyway! Your baby's never gonna know if it's too early to go out. You don't have to get him/her dressed - just take them over to your sitter in pjs and a blanket. So long as they're warm - they can always go back to sleep in the car. ↑ |
| I agree with What's the Time response. It will always be hard to get over the guilt but just remember you are just trying to do the best thing for your baby. As long as you're comfortable with the care giver it will be ok. Your baby will always know you are the most important person in his/her life. Good luck - Being a working mom is the toughest job ever but always let your children know how important they are by spending as much time as possible with them which means giving up on some things you may love to do. Good luck again. ↑ |
| Yes. You and probably 10 million other Americans or more! Its no big deal really people do it everyday.The only other solution you have is find a sitter who will come to your home and babysit so the baby can sleep in. ↑ |
