I work fulltime, and I’m beginning to see a disconnect between me and my son. I am very grateful to have a family member whom I trust to take care of my son while husband and I are away at work, but I feel that I’m missing out on the bonding.
Last night, it was impossible to soothe him. He kept wiggling out of my grip and lunging forward to his grandma. And when she left the room, he screamed bloody-murder. As a mom, it breaks my heart that he prefers his grandma over me. I think I failed as a mother.
Here’s proof you aren’t a horrible mother. Mine does the same.
