I'm going through the same ...Bless your heart. I'm going through the same thing right now. If my son is sick I want to be with him. But I work full time. Of course I take off if he's sick. But I feel bad if its a few days. I would feel worse if it was him I was not with when he was sick though. <br />I truly understand what your saying. <br />Luckily I have family watching Cooper also. Its nice but just because they are family doesn't mean they need to keep him when he's sick. Thats mom and dad's job. <br />We are considering a good daycare. And then if he's not super sick we will have family to fall back on and if he is I will take off. <br /><br />I hope you figure out something that works good for you. Its hard. And daycare is expensive and you have two. Yikes.<br /><br />Let us know if you come up with a good answer. I worry about the same things.Meant to be a momhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02593510601585009840noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8240442442582501739.post-70413147095433997362010-02-11T10:15:26.089-08:002010-02-11T10:15:26.089-08:00I just wanted to tell you that I went through the ...I just wanted to tell you that I went through the same thing about the same exact time as you are. I wrote about it as well. It is hard it doesn't neccesarrily get easier but I personally came to and understanding. That honestly working the 3 days a week that I do does make me a better mom. I enjoy my son soooo much more when I am with him plus I bring a little to the table. It also helps me focus when I'm at work cause I do have only a couple days a week to get my stuff done. well it will get easier an I know its hard espcially when the little ones are sick! your doing a great job!<br /><br />http://mama1227.blogspot.com/2009/06/guilt.htmlFullers1006https://www.blogger.com/profile/03608209882123152147noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8240442442582501739.post-82439058730377627582010-02-11T07:50:47.372-08:002010-02-11T07:50:47.372-08:00I agree with your first comment on this post. GOOD...I agree with your first comment on this post. GOOD Daycare. I FINALLY got Rian in a good daycare, an understanding one and a CLEAN one! I know its a bit more expensive than using family and friends but its dependable and they (if you find a REALLY good one) take EXCELLENT care of your kids when you aren't there. <br /><br />As far as the line, and drawing it, as fine as it is. RC and I (when I had my MAJOR guilty moment as well) decided that its finally time for me to NOT be the only one that tends to the kids. At first it was hard for me cause I felt like I was being a bad wife by having RC take time off work but to be honest RC loves it. He has a good job that knows his kids come first so we ALSO do the trade off thing. Kids sick two or three days in a row we swap days. Makes it easier, makes both your jobs realize you are doing the best you can. <br /><br />Working and being a mom is rough, but if you have it in you its very rewarding. I like you depend on it for health care and as much as i hate to admit it, I LOVE my job for the grown up interaction and success I ultimately feel. <br /><br />Its a tough choice for everyone but finding that balance takes time. If I were you I would do whatever is best for you but if you and your hubby start to share duties you both feel needed and useful and neither of you feels guilty for NOT being around or pulling your weight, whether it be at home or at work. <br /><br />I wish you luck lady! Lord knows I have been in your shoes.H0TG33Khttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09356542738878061226noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8240442442582501739.post-85647351966788195532010-02-11T05:26:17.921-08:002010-02-11T05:26:17.921-08:00The keys to success for my family is:

Even though I work part time, we value my job as much as we value his full time one. If I call out one day, then he calls out the next time. Our employers know this and it helps us not feel so quilty. When I call in, I'm able to say, "If they're sick tomorrow, my husband will stay home, so count on me coming in".Jennhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01196133190299947768noreply@blogger.com
