Have your little one’s hit daycare yet? Do you have anxious feelings about it? This article highlights eight feelings that you may be feeling. dreamstime_s_16007724-2

For example:

  • Feeling inadequate.

As much as I pride myself on being able to juggle work-life balance and “have it all,” in the back of my mind, I realize I can’t give all of myself to my kids 24/7. I would love to spend endless hours building towers to knock them down, watch Sesame Street, and chase my boys around the yard. But I also have a work responsibility that requires me to actually focus on work.

Accepting that I can’t be my boys’ everything has been a tough pill to swallow, but one that’s necessary in order to make changes for the better.

 

  • A sense it’s time.

In the short amount of time I’ve been a mother, I’m so thankful to say I’ve had wonderful memories with my sons — poop, vomit, and all. It’s been such a blessing to me and my husband to be able to work from home with them for so long — but as they get older, we realize it’s only a matter of time before they need to buckle down and prepare for school.

Kindergarten is no joke. (Seriously, my oldest will have to complete an assessment test just to get into public school.)
