I can only imagine how difficult it must be to leave your
children, daily. It takes a lot of trust in those with whom you leave I would think! You have a lot of support here however it seems and I know the women walking the same path you are walking will help you endure! Blessings, faholo

Of course you miss each other
but we can't ignore the realities of earning a living and  it is no bad thing that they understand that too. Unfortunately it's life.

You sound like a great mum...
Don't sweat the times apart -- I know it's hard when you miss them like hell, but there's no need to feel guilty.  Your kids will be better for all the good times you spend with them, and better for the times they have to do without you.  It's a little scary when they start getting their independence, and stop needing you so much, but you wouldn't really want them to need you so much they couldn't cope without you.  It wouldn't be good for them.
