[quote=Anonymous]I have felt so much mom guilt over the years. Going back to work after maternity leave. Working late and missing putting the baby to sleep. Not having enough milk supply to get to one year. Missing certain preschool events during the middle of the work day. Not going on every field trip. All this guilt made me decide to become a SAHM after I had my second child. For the past few years, I have given my whole self to my two children. Currently 9 months pregnant and will give birth to our third child next month.

Spring break is coming up and I really want to go away somewhere tropical. I want to leave our 2-3 month old in care of grandparents. I want to be able to go away for 3-5 days and not feel guilty. I know some moms have to go back to work when child is this age. I will be dedicating the majority of my time to this baby for the next few years. I don't know if it is because it is my third child but I am not overly dedicated to breastfeeding. I have known many women who stopped or mixed formula early on whether it was lack of supply, needing to go to work or straight up just not wanting to breastfeed.

Please tell me it will be ok to leave a 2-3 month old in care with loving grandparents for a few days. [/quote]
