An update on my recent post - thank you!

I made a post recently regarding my struggle returning to work full time due to debt and not being able to be with my little one. I was overwhelmed with supportive and kind comments and messages which really gave me the boost I needed.

Just wanted to give you all an update - I’m starting to feel a bit better and can see a light at the end of the tunnel. Although I’m desperately missing my son when I’m at work (which I’m sure is normal), I know he is the reason I’m doing this which helps to ease the guilt. Just wanted to say thank you all again, knowing people cared saved my life and I no longer feel so lonely. The dark place I was in got a whole lot lighter just thanks to you kind people! ❤

So glad to hear the first responders buoyed you up again.

When my daughter was five, I went back to work. And I felt guilty.

The day of my first pay, I heard my little cherub describing her new ‘pay day doll.’

Mom asked, “but it’s not your birthday or Christmas…why did you get a doll?”

“Oh,” my cherub replied, “It’s just ‘cuz of Mom’s back to work guilt.”

@Mamapolo2016 they really know so much more than we give them credit for 🤣

@Needchange1111 They so do. My daughter’s 40. Someday soon, she’s going to turn to me and say, “Mom, remember on March 3, 1985, when you told me THIS? You LIED.”

I'm so happy you're feeling better. You're the best mom in the world, sacrificing for your baby and family. These are things you cannot help. Society has forced this on us. Anytime you need to talk you can either write in the Forum or drop us a private note. We're here for you, okay? I'm a mom and I realize how hard this is on you but I will keep you in my prayers and pray that God will come for you and help you adjust even more. And when your baby is older, your son will be so proud of you. Love and hugs 🌹🤗

You have your priorities straight. Moms always feel guilty. We cannot be cloned. You will teach your child how to be strong in life and be independent too. Well done. Carry on.
