I need to vent or seek advice or something. I’m having the worst guilt about working full time. I feel like I’m missing out or I’d rather spend my days with my son but I do love my job and I worked really hard to get where I am. Quitting really isn’t an option because we’d have to sell our house and it would severely impact our lifestyle since I make more than my husband and my sons health insurance is through my job.

How do you all get through this guilt? My son is 18 months and we’re trying for another one and sometimes I feel sad like wow I’m going to have to have two kids in daycare away from me (we have a nanny right now that comes to our house). He has the BEST nanny and I love her dearly for taking such good care of my son but secretly I just wish I could be the one spending the day with him. I guess I’m not sure what type of resolution I’m looking for but I have no friends that work and have little kids, all my mom friends are SAHM so it’s hard not having anyone that relates or understands what I’m struggling with.

I hope I’m not alone with this feeling 🥺😭
