Oh, I live with the mommy guilt daily. My 2 year old has had to start creche early because my dad, who used to look after him, got very ill. He sobs every morning when I drop him off. He seems to be settling in, but the GUILT! Oh, the guilt.

it's so hard to find that balance...we all get moments of mommy guilt, but at the same time, we're only just trying to do what's best for our children and sometimes that means having moments of mommy guilt...

Hang in there with the Mommy guilt...it really sucks and sometimes there is just no way around having it. Just remind yourself that she is okay, being safely cared for by people you know have her best interest at heart. Sadly, how she reacts, you cannot control because even at her young age, she makes her own choices.:) And even as a working Mom, you can be and, from everything I have seen here, are a good mom!

Aw. I'm sorry. Mommy guilt sucks, no matter what form it takes. But you're doing what you have to do, and your kids will appreciate all your hard work in the future.

I also gave you a little blog award over on my blog.

Don't worry, mommy guilt has no boundaries. I'm with my kiddies most of the day (we homeschool), but it's just a whole other set of guilts.

Hang in there! Sounds like you're a great mom!! :)

You're so fortunate to have family that takes care of your kids but I still understand the mommy guilt thing. We're hard wired to be with our kids and working outside the home can really suck sometimes.

Don't be so hard on yourself. Easy for me to say. I have mommy guild just because I have two children. I always feel like one of them isn't getting what they need

Mom guilt will be there no matter what. I've been at home with the kids since they were born, and mom guilt strikes me all the time. You sound like a great mom, and she'll be fine:)

Hello!
I found you through Moms Helping Moms.

Don't you worry. ((hug))

Your daughter will be so happy to see you and tell you all about her day when you get home.

Transitions aren't usually easy. However, I know that Riley will be OK, and so will you.

(((hugs))) Don't feel guilty, you are the best! It may take some time, but she will get used to the routine and your mom is right, if you do it once, she will expect it in the future.

Aww...It's so sweet when they're little. I've heard when they get to be teenagers they won't want us anywhere near them. ;)

Hope she had a great day at school!

I have the exact opposite problem. We have no relative near us. My children are in Pre-K, Kindergarten and 4th grade. They all see their fellow classmates being picked up by grandmas, grandpas, aunts, uncles, etc. and they all wish they could be picked up by one of their favorite relatives too. Keep your chin up. Things will get easier.

i have mommy guilt all the time. i hate that my son spends more time with my sister in law than with me. he loves going to her house and hates coming home. i guess i should be grateful that he likes where he is during the day, but it kills me that he would rather be there than home. i wrote about his separation anxiety with my SIL on my blog. and i gave you an award. come see!
