[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]As a parent with older kids, one hundred percent disagree that they need you more when they are older.  The only people who say this are those justifying  not being around much  in the early years or those justifying remaining at home.

Op try to find a way to get more kid time once your contact is complete.  You can't turn back time and the preschhol years are when you are the center of their universe.[/quote]

This.  Those really early years are foundational in so many ways. [/quote]

This is what I don't think these "early years are foundational" posters understand:  Yes, young children need high-quality care, but there is no research out there that says that that high-quality care has to come from the mother alone. Please, if you think I'm wrong, link to something that supports your opinion. OP has a husband and a nanny she trusts -- her daughter will be fine. As others have said, this is really about managing her own feelings. Especially because the OP's long hours have a set end date, and her daughter won't even remember this time.
