[quote=Anonymous]I understand where you are coming from but think "influencing" is not quite the right word.  I feel bad that I'm not the one there all the time when my DD needs or wants me, and I feel a little pang of jealousy that other people are with her when I can't be.  But I don't feel bad that they are "influencing" her.  I think it's good that she get different inputs and think the teachers are excellent people and great caregivers, so I actually am happy she's being influenced by them.  They are also from a different ethnicity than we are, so I like the fact that they are "influencing" her in this way by teaching other traditions and language skills.

But I also wonder sometimes if she isn't as close to me as she might be if I were around her all day, and I am a little sensitive to whether she is happy to see me when I pick her up or not.  But I know that's about ME and not about her, and that's something I will deal with myself.  It's definitely hard, but I don't think I'd be a better parent or any happier if I could stay home with her.[/quote]
