I'm finding it so tough to be a full-time working mom these days. A few days ago was the first time my 10mo little girl cried to stay with her grandma when I picked her up after work. It broke my heart and I cried on the way home. I felt better when I realised that she must be wanting to stay there because she is well taken care of and loved, and my mom is clearly the right person to leave her with while I am at work. It still hurts a bit when I feel like she is choosing her grandma over me. I guess it comes with the territory.

This evening I feel particularly bad because I feel like I have such little time with her. We arrive home at 4pm and bedtime is at 7:30pm. I guess I just feel like I miss her so much, and like it's unfair that I don't get to spend as much time with her during the day. I'm alone at home right now and she's asleep so I'm feeling very sorry for myself. Just wanted to share my feeling and see if anyone could relate.
