[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here- thanks for the responses! I really like the idea of my kids visiting me at the office so they can understand where I go. It also really helps to know I’m not alone in this![/quote]

OP, when my kids came to have lunch with me the first time my boss brought out the soccer ball she has in her office and they played in the hallway and now my kids think I play soccer all day at work!  Their dad also has a ping pong table at his office so they think that's what he does.  It's fun to have them come visit and I remember seeing my parents' offices growing up and thinking it was cool.  You should definitely do this.  You are definitely not alone!  My kids are five now and still sometimes say stuff like this even though they love school and their nanny.  I usually ask them why they feel that way and if their answer is a generic "I miss you/want you" then I ask them to think of something special we can do that weekend or one day after school that would help.  They get over it quickly, but I do think that responding to their statements makes them feel better.  I also tell them that I miss them/want them during the day as well.  Sometimes we'll sneak each other notes - I'll put them in their backpack and they'll put them in my purse.  Then we can see them during the day and think of each other.  Hugs.[/quote]
