Even if you have a nanny or your kid goes to daycare, connection with their parent is about much more than spending a certain quantity of time with them or taking care of all of the mundane tasks. It's about creating a chunk of time for real connection - reading together, playing, and undivided parent attention time. Caregiver relationships can be really special and beneficial for your child. I get that you are worried bc of your own childhood experience, but I'm guessing you didn't get the genuine time to connect with your mom either.
