I totally sympathize with you tori and the struggle of being a mom and working. No matter what your career from movie star like tori or daycare teacher like me. the guilt never goes away. When there is nothing you want more then to be at home with your kids but you can't cause you have to make a living somehow. I just about cry every morning when I have to leave my babies. Just know that your doing what you can for your kids and love them to them to the fullest and always know your teaching them responsibility!

I understand what you are say I have 2 children also. When I was working I always took 1 hour when I first came home to spend with my children this was their special time. We would talk and play and then I would start dinner. I felt that it was very important for my children to know that I cared about them and their day away from me, and even when they where to small to talk they new when we wuld walk throought that door it would be play first. Kids need to know that their parents would take the time to listen to them not matter what this give them the security they need an it will follow them all of their life you set the stage now for the rest of their life. Remember to love, listen, and yours kids will always talk to you when they are adults, but if you are to busy form them they will be to busy for you.

no longer here
