[quote=Anonymous]I work a similar schedule, I WOH M-Th and both boys (2.5 and almost-1) are with our amazing nanny from 7:30am-5:30pm on those days. I feel awful that we barely get family time on those nights, but they are 100% with me on "Mommy Fridays" and on weekends as a family. I try to plan fun stuff, but now that there are 2 of them and DS2 is now mobile (and because it's HOT), that usually just means going to the mall and running around, or going to a bounce house for a few hours.

My guilt comes when I hear them sing a song I didn't teach them or when our nanny sends me pictures of fun stuff they're doing while I'm at work. Don't get me wrong, I LOVE that they are so incredibly loved and have such fun without me, but it does hit me with guilt. But I also know I need to work, I have a great job and couldn't be a SAHM for both financial and my sanity reasons (usually by Sunday evenings I'm so ready to go back to work!).

I won't tell you "it gets better", OP, but just know you're doing a great job if your DS is happy, confident, and loved. [/quote]
