Feeling guilty

No need to feel guilty, it'll pass. Just do what you're doing, and make sure that when you do need to leave your daughter, she is in good hands with someone whom you trust. That's the best you can do, since you also have a life you need to live, and things you need to do.

My older daughter was like that when she was little. The best thing to do is say good bye to her, reassure her that you will be coming back, even if she doesn't quite understand, she understands your tone, and just going. It makes it worse if you keep going back and try to calm her down. Just go, in a few minutes she will calm down. It is hard to leave them like that, and feelings of guilt are common. But she needs to learn that sometimes mommy has to go, and that other people will care for her. It's easy to say not to feel guilty, but those feelings go with the territory. Just think someday she will be old enough to roll her eyes at you and say, 'Oh, Mother!!'

All children suffer from separation anxiety at some point. Some parents only deal with this when the child begins pre-school or kindergarten. You need not feel guilty, it is a natural progression for the child and you need alone time for yourself. You have to keep yourself nurtured inorder to be the best parent that you can be. A trip to have your hair cut and a quick run to the grocery store, will help recharge your batteries so that you are maintaining your composure and are able to give love & support to your husband and child. Good Luck!

You're a mom it's you job to feel guilty and worried about everything that concerns your child. It will probably help if you cuddle your daughter before you leave for work while telling her that you'll be backafter office hours. Good luck.

Your friends are right. All kids go through this stage. Just remember it is just a stage. She will realize that you come back and she will get over it.

how true. The only advise i cqan offer is that do yuo really need to work? What are your priorities in life? I was also working when my daughter was born. But when she came to my life, i decided that i want to see her growing up in front of my eyes. It took me only one moment to decied that i will not work anymore and give as much time as possible to her. She is 3 years old now and mind you , am not regretting my decision.

sooner or later, she will have to accept the fact that you can't be with her all the time. I think you shouldn't feel guilty. Otherwise, you will never stop being...

I used to work in childcare and after years of studing children I have learned that a child cries when a parent leaves because he/she knows that they can trust you and they love you. Just tell the child where you are going and when you will be back. Do not ever leave when they cannot see you. That makes a child think that when they turn their back you are going to disappear.

Make sure she knows you're coming back and then go. if you don't start leaving her sometimes, things will get worse and it will be harder and harder to get things done that you need to.
