Working mom guilt.

Hope

So I’ve been back at work now for like 9ish weeks now. My son is 3 months old. The first two weeks ack I cried constantly about leaving him. Than it got better I still missed him but the crying stopped... y’all I’m back to crying for the past week. Anyone else experience this. I thought it was supposed to get easier. 😔 I just want my baby.

My baby is 6 months. I spent the first 3 months with him and it’s never gotten easier. I now feel guilty about my 8hr shifts, I feel guilty if I try to spend time away doing things for myself and I even feel guilty about trying to spend time with my husband.It is all normal. The reason that you worry is because you are a good mom. I know it sounds cliche but it’s true. If you didn’t care, you wouldn’t question yourself and it would be whatever. You’re a great mom and you need to know that you’re doing the best thing for you, your family, and your LO. I think most of us feel this way, I found your post because I searched it. Today is one of my days that I’m feeling that way. Actually, it’s been like that Quite a few times a week. Our babies love us and we love our babies, that’s all that matters mama.
