And when she's older, she will see you are a better mom for it. And a great role model!<br /><br />And that nonsense about missing milestones? Complete BS. Especially if you're only going back part time. But, Jon and I work full time and we've never missed a milestone. First words, first steps, first smiles, first laughs - they all came at home. <br /><br />And the interaction and the stimulation from the others kids? Seriously, it's priceless. I could never give Mason the kind of play and friends he has at daycare - unless we popped out like 5 more kids and that's not happening! ;)A.https://www.blogger.com/profile/17918415034987411623noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-39021260008541038.post-52022102241389347062011-08-11T14:45:39.021-05:002011-08-11T14:45:39.021-05:00This is the part I think I will struggle with when...This is the part I think I will struggle with when my day comes...But Em, you will be a good mom no matter what you decide. If after a few weeks, work won't work for you anymore and you feel you have to be home, at least you have the flexibility of being able to get by on one income. Think of it as options. Trust your gut. xoxoKatiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11166472517904836587noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-39021260008541038.post-58443534622112755652011-08-11T11:53:20.576-05:002011-08-11T11:53:20.576-05:00Arm warmers?!

Centers are licensed and regulated and there is always backup care if a teacher has to take time off & Clare will have little friends to watch at first and play with later -- constant stimulation (in a good way). :) <br /><br />Don't feel guilty about your decision to return to work. If it will make you happy to return to the Land of Adult Conversations (and deadlines! and not worrying about green poop!) a few days a week, it will make you a better mom.CMShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01748652964281422394noreply@blogger.com
