Anyone have kids ?
Hi. I have 2 children, it is hard to leave your children. You will always feel that no one will take care of them like you do. The anxiety makes you over think it evrn more, just remain positive she will be fine. Sometimes is best to have a few hours away from the kids to recharge, plus it's best to get them used to not being with you the whole day because it will be harder for them when they have to go to school. But there is nothing wrong with being cautious with who you leave your children or worrying about them when you are not around.
I understand. I have one daughter. She is on the autism spectrum and leaving her anywhere especially when she was little was so anxiety provoking. Try to keep positive thoughts. Our minds are our own worst enemies. But I truly do understand how you feel. Sending you a hug.
I understand! When we adopted our boys at ages 3 and 5, I didn't want to leave them for fear they would think we were abandoning them. It took a while, but gradually I was able to leave them for short periods of time. I needed to learn to trust that God is in control. My children are a gift from God and He will keep them in His care. I'm praying that you will learn to trust God, too.
