[quote=Anonymous]One suggestion I haven't seen yet: maybe have your nanny and/or DH send you pics or videos of your child every so often during the day. Not as a substitute for actually seeing your child but maybe to make you feel a bit better when you can't be there - unless seeing pics would make you feel worse. As PPs have said, your child won't remember how long you were/weren't around so right now it's about managing your own feelings. You are deep in the trenches now but try to focus on the light at the end of the tunnel. Can you get home for dinner or bedtime a couple of nights per week and continue working from home after your child falls asleep? Also, focus on making the 1 weekend day you have with your DC really count. Maybe the two of you can do something special on those days (a trip to the park, a special coloring book or other toy that you play with only on those days). Something that only the two of you share to help you feel close.[/quote]
