[quote=Anonymous]I have a work opportunity that would require me to leave my 3 y.o daughter for 9 days, coming up in the fall. It's not a required trip but it would elevate my career and I don't think this opportunity will come again anytime soon. She'd stay home with her father and I'd also have my mom come and help out, who she's very close with.

For context, I have never left her overnight before. She's in preschool part time but otherwise I'm always with her and she's very attached to me. We're also moving to a new state this summer and she'll be starting a new school in Sept. (the trip is in Oct) so I'm a little concerned that all these transitions coupled with me leaving will be very hard for her. When I do leave her with my mom for a full day (rarely) she's fine but once dinnertime rolls around she starts getting antsy and wanting me to come home.

I know plenty of moms who have careers that require them to take work trips and their kids are fine with it but they've been doing that since their kids were babies, so they're used to it. I guess I'm just concerned bc this would really be our first time apart. I'd love to hear anyone's experiences and advice.[/quote]
