Probably every working mom goes through this.

I have 5 days work from office, 9 hours per day. At best, I can give my baby 1-1.5 hours each day dedicatedly. I feel like my baby has started disassociating from me - I used to be her favourite person. Now nanny seems to be her favourite. Sometimes she looks at me when I’m leaving and gives a huge sigh. It breaks my heart.

I don’t have the option of leaving my job - my husband is currently between jobs. And even if he wasn’t I probably wouldn’t leave as I feel two incomes are necessary for the life I Hope to give me baby.

Anyway, I know the best thing is for me to look for remote/hybrid roles. But everyday when I leave for work, I feel my heart breaking.
