Separation Anxiety.... - Mesa,AZ

I have a 19 month old boy. My hubby and I are adopting him, and he is the light of our lives. I would stay home with him if I could, but I too have to work. I keep in mind that when my husband watches him, he is spending time with daddy, and that is important, same with my mother(grandma time). also, when he is at daycare, he is learning much needed social skills and preparing for the structure of school. She can't be by your side constantly, if you keep in mind the life skills you are providing, it may help you through. Good luck

Trust me you are not the only one. I am the same way and my daughter is two. Somedays I drop her at daycare and my eyes water up. She runs off to play with her friends and when I pick her up we are happy to see eachother..No advice all I can say is a mother's love is the greatest thing. :)

I was in the same boat, I didnt want to leave my little boy at home with a sitter while I went to a 9 to 5'er. I work from home and am doing a lot better than I thought I would. I am a romance rep with brown bag party. I do a few parties on the weekends when hubby is able to stay home and have that much needed 1 on 1 time with my son. And I get adult interaction at the parties. THere are no children allowed at the parties so it really is a nice little retreat, And I won't complain about the money either. lol If you are interested you can email me at ____@____.com I'd love to share the information with you.

I'm all for staying at home with your children, This is another option because some of us have to work.

I am right in the same boat as you wanting to stay home if I could. I try to look at it this way. By going to work I get some adult interaction which will help keep my sanity in tack & not be completely engulfed in children stuff and that by working I am helping to provide for my family.

My son will be three & now that he is talking it makes it even worse sometimes to leave because when he wakes up in the morning & asks me why I have to go to work and why i cant stay home.
I try to explain that some mommies and daddies need to go to work to make sure that we have all we need to be a happy & healthy family and that I will see him when I get home from work and we can have special mommy/son time.

Its hard for little ones to understand, heck its hard for me to accept myself at times . But as long as you love them, give them lots of hugs and attention when you can I am sure all things turn out all right.

Hard as it is try not to focus on missing her, but focus on what you will be doing with her when you do get home.
