Dilemmas of a working mother.

I have just rejoined the workforce for about a month now after a 4 month long paid hiatus. Thanks to the gahmen.

My little girl is 5 mths now, and she has really grown from a mere 2.54kg little bub at birth to all of 6.1kg now. She's had all her 6 vaccinations, and she's growing pretty healthy I must say, compared to some of her peers.

It was tough getting back to work, after bonding with her during my leave. Leaving her to a helper while I went out to work was a tough thing to do as I had no other choice. I hurry home everyday after work just so I could feel assured again when she's in my arms. Other times, she refuses to let go of me when I had to leave for work, and it just pains me. I envy mothers who gave up their working life to be a full-time homemaker, as I know it is a very big sacrifice to make. There are many times where I thought of resigning to be a homemaker myself, but after much consideration, I decided that I still need the resources of holding a job and a career.

I would love to be there through all of her milestones, through every single step she makes in her growing up years. Till now, every little thing she does still amazes me much.
