SAHM transitioning to Working Mom

I’ve been a stay-at-home mum for a year and I’m heading back to work soon. I’m really going to miss my baby so much… I was there for everything — the send-offs, pick-ups, vaccines, and all the little moments in between. I know that at some point I need to return to my own life and routine, but right now my heart is feeling so heavy. It’s a full 5-day office week and the workplace is far, so I won’t be able to send or pick my baby up anymore. I know this transition is necessary, but it’s still really tough. Just needed a space to share and see if any mums have gone through this and how you coped. 💛

Ah, the feels...you're definitely not alone in feeling this way when the kids go off to school. I felt really sad when I ended my ML and dropped my kid at IFC for the first few times. But he turned out to really enjoy going to school,and would come home telling me what happened in school and singing new songs. So I seek comfort that even though he's not with me physically, he is growing and learning much more in school, and he's also very happy there. Take heart mummy. Your child will be happy interacting with other kids and learn new things.

hello mummy! i totally get you… i was a sahm for both my kids till they turned 18 months and went to preschool. but i really missed them when they went to school! fret not mummy, tell yourself that they will benefit from school - and they will grow by leaps and bounds (they get really bored at home once they reach school gg age). jiayou!!
