As I sat down and read this, I started to get all teary eyed - four weeks into my daughter starting daycare and I feel like everything you’ve written is exactly how I’ve been feeling. And finally, at 4 weeks I feel like we’ve hit a turning point where the drop offs and pick ups are getting so much better and she looks so happy there now!
Thanks for being open and vulnerable in sharing your experiences as a first time mom - these are the posts that genuinely give me comfort that my feelings of daycare and transition are not just exclusive to me, and for the reassurance that yes, this is a transition period for our kids and us, and it does in fact get better.
My favourite line: “I was afraid of how we were going to weather the storm and I was reminded that we always do.” 🥹
Those photos for your boys and their art work is wonderful - I’m so happy to see that they’re thriving ❤️
🥺🥺 such a unique and common experience with this transition and I love the path we are on for us!! Thanks for being a part of the emotional support crew heh
The boys and you both made it through! 💕 I’m so happy to see you all thriving in your new normal👏I’m not there yet, but I’ll look back on this post when the time comes🥹 It was a great read, and I felt every emotion throughout. I love your writing style and love you guys too!
Currently coordinating daycare for baby girl in 2026 and I already get anxiety and worry when I think about it 🥺
My nephew started daycare the same time as your boys and it was definitely reassuring and bittersweet to see the transition into his independence and excitement to go to daycare. You word so eloquently the identity metamorphosis and rabbit hole of questions & reflections that comes from returning to work as a first time mom.
Happy to hear that your work allows you the freedom to embrace your new perspective returning to work balancing career and motherhood, and I'm so so so with you there raging about all the ways society fails women and the lack of accessibility (and education/empathy??) and just GAP that exists at the cost of mothers 😭😤
Omg yes the anticipation!! It’s so hard to fully embrace and go with the flow but I just know you’re doing great 🩷 enjoy your maternity leave to the fullest but when the transition comes you’ll get through it and come out stronger - all of you!
