An opportunity has come up for me to get into the nursing industry, which is something that I have always wanted. I have been offered a traineeship, and I really really want to take it. I have a 3 month old son, and I haven't spent a day away from him since he was born. I feel so guilty, because I really want this job, and we could really use the money. I have told them that I would only be available part time, and they have said that this is fine. I would miss my boy so much. I think that I am just so scared that he will get attached to someone other than me, and he won't need me anymore. And I don't want to miss anything that he does. I would love to hear from mums that went back to work while their baby was so young, and how you coped? Should I do it?
