Guilty to leave daughter at daycare to enter back into the workforce

10 Comments

I have 6 children the youngest 3 turnign 4 at the end of the year. I am currently at home with her but always think about going back to work pref school hours, it also would make me feel like i am contributing in life.

the thought of leaving her at daycare brings back memories where she was in agongy pain at being left at such a wonderful daycare, i ask her if she would like to go back, some days it is a yes others no mum no kindy.

are there any other mums out there that have had this situation please.

I also think about starting something up from home so i am always there to her and also my othere children.

any advice would be so great

thank you

confused

Is it possible to get employment that you can work from home most of the time rather than starting a business unless you have sufficient experience to be sure it would definitely make a profit. Some State Govts. have a set-up where you can get advise about starting a small business, what there is a demand for etc.

just wondering what you decided – did you do day care or set up something at home?

You need to decide what you think is best you can always reevaluate and change things if you need to

This is a common question on this site. Go with your heart, what does it say? Do you need the money? You could start with just a couple of days working a week. Kids are always off and on with what they want :/ Woeking from hone would be an awesome choice, the best of both worlds as far as a mum is concerned

So hard, I think just try what your gut says and if it doesn’t work, keep going until it does:)

It’s a lot of work staying home and looking after the family.
