Hi!  I'm Amanda, and I found your group while searching online.  I have a two year old daughter who is an absolute joy.  I work full time, away from the home, and this has proven to be a bigger challenge to me than I ever thought possible.  We make it work, although some days are better than others. 

I just thought it might be nice to find some support with others who are in the same situation I am.  Take care!

Hello Amanda, 

My name is Jessica and I am in the same boat you are in. Im returning to work full time after four months at home. My daughter is 15 months and I love her to pieces. Its just not possible for me to stay at home long term. I feel such guilt leaving her and am having a hard time dealing with it. I have a supportive husband and mother in law who will be watching my daughter while Im at work. 

I just cant shake the feelings I am having, I dont even want to admit that i am excited about the oppurtunity I have. I love my daughter and dont want her to ever feel like shes been abandoned or is not my top priority because she is. 

I am hoping to find support from mothers who know how I am feeling, the reassurance would be very helpful so I am right there with you.
