My LO is gg to enter childcare soon...as a first time parent and a single parent, I am filled with anxiety at the thought of it. I am so worrisome about his safety, well being, how is he going to cope with it etc etc...i wish to accompany him during the first 3 days but unfortunately I am very busy during that period to take leave, unless I delay his entrance.. however the sch suggested me to go ahead as they don't encourage parents to stick around anyway. As long as there is someone to stand by will be ok (My mum) in this case..even So, I can't help but to feel guilty if I don't experience the first time with him...i m in such dilemma..?

I will take leave becoz priority is my kid not my job. And it's crucial for Mother to stay with the child as with u around ur Son will feel eased n yes, more confidence. Wun feel lost. Thou ur mum is there, but that is ur Mother not your son's Mother. As a Mother I will definitely take leave for my kids no matter how busy I'm! Career, I can change but kids I can't afford to lose them!!!
