N on Peanut: Going back to work

I go back to work full time in a few weeks my baby will be 3.5 months. I get the luxury to work from home as I live at my work (resort manager) my husband also works full time running his own business in the local area . Although I can have my baby at home with me while working I just could not get my work done and look after him at the same time so I’ve had to enrol him in daycare 2 days a week which in one way will be so nice to have my head clear to be able to get work done but in another way I feel so so bad for leaving my baby so young in day care especially in a pandemic and missing out on watching him grow not only on the day care days but on the days he’s home I won’t be able to give the attention I usually do as I’ll be trying to juggle him and work. We can afford to live off my husbands wage, but I love my job, have great benefits, I earn good money and if I can juggle it I’d rather work hard now so we can have a better future where we don’t have to work full time for the rest of our lives I just feel like I’m doing the wrong thing by my child and being selfish just to earn good money but it’s all for our future to make it easier Has anyone been through something similar and how did it work out for you?
