Separation Anxiety
I just started work this week. So, have been separated from Rachel for 10 hours a day, for the last 3 days. I am experiencing separation anxiety. It has not gotten better for me, but Rachel seems to be thriving.
The first 2 days were difficult for hubby's parents, who were taking care of her. She refused to sleep, refused to sit, refused to stand, refused to crawl, refused to walk....and all she wanted was for them to carry her. It was indeed a backbreaking experience for them. Most likely, she's not used to not having me around her, and also, maybe she is used to me carrying her most of the time. I guess this transition is good for Rachel to learn how to be independent....but the guilty feeling I have for leaving Rachel behind...a true separation anxiety symptom.
Hats-off for WORKING MOMS!
