It will get better though, I promise... plus you are doing what needs to be done for your family. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-feel-guilty-already#post-157064 Sun, 13 May 2012 09:40:24 +0000 Andrea 157064@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@His Barista: Good!

I really enjoy my job, but prefer my days at home with my boy. It took a while to be able to leave the house without tearing up! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-feel-guilty-already#post-156993 Sun, 13 May 2012 01:43:19 +0000 GrapeCrush 156993@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I just had DS and don't go back to work for 10 weeks and I already feel guilty about it! It was a huge topic for me and DH if I ha to go back to work or not, and unfortunately I have to. Thankfully though im going to be able to work from home 3 days a week and the other 2 days my mom and DH/MIL/my brother will be with him, which makes it a little easier </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-feel-guilty-already#post-156968 Sun, 13 May 2012 00:06:23 +0000 His Barista 156968@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Andrea: I have the family picture from the hospital in my box at work. It is a nice little reminder. And I have lots of videos on my phone. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-feel-guilty-already#post-156941 Sat, 12 May 2012 22:09:07 +0000 Andrea 156941@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Oh yes, I cried so much that I could barely even see to drive (not advisable). It will get so much easier but you will still miss the LO, of course. I always look at pictures/videos of her while I work so keep something close by to look at. :-D </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-feel-guilty-already#post-156940 Sat, 12 May 2012 22:08:28 +0000 His Barista 156940@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have done 4 shifts.

Its just part time and I am only doing 4-5 hour shifts. But I already feel like I am ditching DD and not spending enough time with her. I wish I could afford to stay home with her so I didn't feel this badly!</p> <p>Anyone else feel guilty when they went back to work? Does it get better? </p>
