i expected to say something comforting and what came out was the stuff i actually wish someone had handed me on a list...

block your daycare drop-off and pickup times on your work calendar right now, before anyone books a 4:30 meeting you can’t get out of, you are legally allowed to leave on time and a calendar block is your first line of defense!!

do a full practice run the week before you go back, wake up at the real time, pack the real bag, drive the real route, drop off and come home, because your nervous system needs to do it once before it counts and your first real morning will be infinitely calmer for it...

lower your dinner standards immediately and without guilt, rotisserie chicken and a bag of frozen vegetables is dinner, two planned meals a week is plenty, the mental energy you save not thinking about food every single day is mental energy you get to spend on literally anything else?!

and the one nobody says: 84% of working moms say that working is the best option for them and their families, not surviving it, actually choosing it, the terror before you go back is not a sign that you’re making the wrong call, it’s a sign that you love your kid, those are not the same thing...

the daycare guilt fades, the routine clicks, and one day you realize you walked in the door with something left in you and your kid felt it
