Have the best of both - I work from home and I am home when they get home from school! You could do the same - it is an amazing opportunity! http://www.BeTheCeoMom.com

my children are 13, 8 and 3. I have worked all but a short time right before nursing school and i can't get them off me..lol..ii joked my 13 year old i was going to get a restraining order because he was following me around so closely the other day....lol...your children know your mom..they are resilient and you have a bond that working won't break.

I don't think it matters too much. I agree to try to make some special time with them. Also, find things that just you do for her. For the first several months I was the one who mostly gave baths (now that he's older and getting messy more often DH does more of that). I'm the only one who will cut his nails, and if I'm home I need to put him to bed.

I have been a working mom through two kids my oldest is nine and he and I are very close, my daughter who is 1 is definitely a mommas girl but because they did not spend all their time with me they have developed special relationships with dad and grandma and aunties ( my close friend no relation) my kids are well adjusted yes my son would like me to be home more but that is because he wants to do more dance not because he wants me as I am the chuaffeur to most extracurricular activities. As long as the time you are spending with her is true quality time you talk and have fun she will remain close. don't stress over it. You are showing her that woman can hold down a job be a mom and still be independant all things our daughters should see. She will be proud of you. hope this helps
