My baby had a nightmare and i wasnt there
I know, i know, its just how it is. But my husband texted me saying he qccidentally woke up the baby early because he thought he was crying to get up but was still very much asleep, just crying and sounding scared.
My baby had a nightmare and I wasnt there to comfort him because im at work, comforting someone elses baby as a nanny. I just want my shift to end so i can go home and hold my baby and cuddle the nightmare away.
I know it is what it is, hes with his dad to keep him safe and loved, and i love my job deeply, and i know i sound ungrateful to have a steady income for our family, and most days i get it, but today being a working mom just sucks.

Oh girl đŁ how old is your little one? When they are old enough/or if they are can you do a little âritualâ with them?
If you wake up sad and mummy isnt here, squeeze the teddy and mummy will know, call for daddy for a cuddleâ or something?
Talk about the âritualâ and then when you arenât there you know your baby will know exactly what to do if it happens - I appreciate baby might be too young for this at the moment! But doesnât stop you saying it to them now and it will slowly become engrained in them â„ïž
