I'm going back to work in September after being home with my baby for 15 months. I realize this is longer than a lot of people get and I sympathize with those who have to return to work sooner.
I was recently given a promotion (like 3 days ago) which I interviewed for and wanted. It's a good pay raise and the work is more geared to my skillset and interest.
However, the travel time is 45 minutes there and back. Whereas my current job I was 5 minutes from home and daycare.
I feel like an awful mother and that I'm going to miss my babies life. I haven't been able to sleep knowing I'll be away from him.
My heart hurts more than I've ever felt before. I feel like I'm dealing with a death. I knew it was going to be hard going back to work, but I didn't have a choice. And now that I'm choosing to be away from him for extra time with this new position I feel like the world's worst mother.
All he wants is me all the time and I'm going to take myself away from him. I very rarely leave him.
Somebody please tell me I'm not making a huge mistake. I'm desperate.
