This probably is the first time I can honestly say that I do not regret going back to work.
All these while, I hated the thought of leaving my kids with someone else.
But I know
I was there when my children were young.
I breastfed each of them for a year.
I saw their first smile, I watched them take their first step
I never missed a single milestone of their childhood
I was able to feed them healthy meals
I was there to guide them, play with them, nurture them, scream at them..the whole 9 yards.

Now it is time for me to nurture my rapidly diminishing grey matter.
Technically my children only have to spend 2 hours after the school with their child minder.( sometimes I have to go for board meetings and conferences, then they do have to spend a lot more time with their child minder)
I don’t feel guilty that they have to spend 2 hours with their child minder, because now they are older. They don’t have to depend on me any more.

It feels so good not feeling guilty.

It feels good to be the boss again!
