How to drive yourself bonkers

Working mamas face the stress of preparing care for the little one before heading back to the job. Whether it be an in-law, a nanny, or a daycare of sorts, it's never easy because we never feel like anyone would do as good of a job as we can ourselves. Well, at least I feel that way.

In addition, looking for the right kind of care that fits Mads' temperament and our parenting style is not an easy feat. What if she is bullied by the toddler that wants her toy? What if the nanny leaves her on the changing table and she decides that it's that exact moment to finally successfully roll over? What if my in-law spoils her rotten and set our parenting back?

At the end of the day, the most comforting thing I can offer myself and my husband is that she will be fine. There will be no long term damage. She will recognize us as her mom and dad. She will adapt. Babies are way more flexible than we give them credit for, no?
