Hi, I am the mother of an 8 month old girl and work full-time as a social worker. I am really glad to find other moms on here who also do paid work.
This week has been tough more me so far b/c my daughter has had an ear infection, sleep has been spuratic at best, and I am feeling a little guilt having to leave her with my husband or day care while I go to work.
How do you cope with a sick little one and work?

| Sometimes I end up staying home from work to take care of her, especially with the cold air; I don't want her going out in the cold air. But if she's not too bad, I go ahead and take her to my mom's. |

| I know how you feel Celeste. My son also had an ear infection in both ears so I know what you are going through. I use to cry to myself when driving to work when I had to leave him. Fortunately, my mother has a day care center where she can take care of him and be my other pair of eyes and ears, but at times it's still not the same. |

Thank you all for the support. She is home today with her dad for the secound day in a row, but she slept much better the last 2 nights. That means I feel like a regualr human being here at work and can actually think. Yippee. Monday I felt as out of it as I did those first few weeks back from Maternity leave.
