[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]DH is deployed and I could not get to my son’s preK graduation.  His former nanny (now a close family friend) was there and made it a big deal for my son.  So everything was fine... except two days later,  three mothers made it a point to tell me how wonderful our former nanny was and how great it is that my son has “someone he can rely on”.  Talk about a knife in my heart.  [/quote]

Ugh what a dreadful thing to say to you. Probably didn’t come out how they meant, but still![/quote]

That's totally how they meant it. I would have just rolled my eyes at them or if particularly inspired, told them to stuff it.

OP, I travel a lot for work and of course can relate. Someone has to bring the bacon and health insurance home. I also happen to really like my job, which must be the biggest sin of a working mother, according to the Sanctimommy Society. But guess what: your kid will be perfectly fine and there is absolutely no reason for you to feel guilty. Learning that sometimes mom is busy is a good life lesson![/quote]
