Its such a hard one, I do like the quick chats with DS, but I do wonder if it does more harm than good.

I think part of the problem for me is the mummy/wife guilt.


I also know that the travelling for me is likely to be short term with this contract - as without support of mum who is off back to UK after it, I am not sure I could leave the kids with DH on his own for more than a day or two (not while he is working full time anyway).
When I go, DH is on his own. We don't have any family close by who can help - so he is juggling it all on his own. Working full time, doing the day care drop off/pick up on his own, bed, bath, dinner etc.
I think this is where the guilt comes in to it, I know doing that on your own with a 2 year old is hard work!
