Working mommy blues..
Posted on: November 19, 2012
Sometimes I sit at work sad that I’m not home with Little M.
I feel bad that I’m not there when she wakes up in the morning on the weekdays. I feel bad that I don’t get to play with her during the day.
I don’t like thinking about it too much because it breaks my heart.
But.. I have to do what I have to do.. just like all working mothers.
I live for the weekends where Little M can open her eyes and the first person she sees is her “mimi.” She smiles so big and then she says, “mimi!” And then she says “Doh-wah.” But.. that’s beside the point.. hahah!
For me, being a working mother is the biggest sacrifice I’ve had to make. Growing up, I always thought I would be a stay-at-home mother. That’s what my mother was, and I just automatically assumed that I would be one too..
But times are different.. two income families are necessities.. and I have had to learn to deal with that reality.
It would be great to be able to stay at home with her more than just the weekends.. work fewer days a week.. and still earn the same money I am making currently.. hmm.. maybe I should have become a nurse!
This is my life. This is my reality. It makes me a little sad, but I know I’m not alone.
