I have never been able to stay home with my kids, and after my 3rd and final baby was born it was the most difficult thing I had to do, going back to work. It still is... daily. And she is 2 now! It especially hurts because I have to pay over $1200. per month in daycare, not that they are not worth it, but that I have to pay someone that much to do what I would so love to do! But, reality is what it is, and it does suck! I do know though, that when I pick them up, they are running to me calling out MOMMY and that feeling I get? I KNOW that I am their mom and will always be their mom, irreplacable. I still struggle with it, write out the numbers over and over again to see if there is SOMEWHERE I can come up with the $ I make after daycare, can't seem to make it happen, but will keep trying! Best of luck to you, I hope you find a job that is fulfilling and still gives you plenty of time with your angels! .-= Patty´s last blog ..<a href="http://mc-mommy.blogspot.com/2009/07/day-late-and-dolla-short.html" rel="nofollow">A day late and a dolla short!</a> =-.

My mother in law watches Ava, so she's not in daycare either. But it doesn't matter how good the care is, or how much you trust the person they are with. As mama, WE want to be there, doing the care. We are just wired that way. I'm right there with you. The boys are lucky to have a wonderful mommy. I'm glad you were able to spend as much time with them as you did.

Your boys will be great and you are def lucky to have a friend to be the one who is caring for them while you are at work. I can honestly tell you that. Once you are back, it might take a while but you WILL appreciate the extra money , insurance & adult/social interaction. I know there is nothing I can say now, but I've been where you've been and I KNOW it's not easy hun. I feel for your heart. .-= melissa´s last blog ..<a href="http://twitter.com/bostonmama79/statuses/3124866269" rel="nofollow">bostonmama79: @sara3isenough I'm surprised the landlord didn't clean it up a bit...</a> =-.

BUT then there'd be no more nice house...no more vacations...no more shopping sprees for kid clothes...no more coach bags. that'd all be gone. and so i still work. i don't want my kids lives to change. and so i think that even though you'll miss them and it'll be hard because it's OH SO HARD for me...every. single. day....you'll be glad you did it.
