Brendan broke my heart tonight

I was picking up at daycare today and he was playing on the floor. He was sitting up, and I think his foot got caught in his pants when he tried to stand up, and he ended up bonking his head on the hardwood floor. He of course was crying bloody murder. I picked him up immediately and was soothing him, rubbing his back, talking gently to him- you know mom stuff.
He calmed a teensy bit but wouldn't stop crying and then was reaching for our daycare lady. So I let him go to her and he almost immediately stopped crying.
I almost started crying myself. My baby didn't want me, he wanted her. She's not his mamma, I am!

I hate hate hate hate not being a SAHM

Awwww....Lisa, I so know where you are coming from. Tommy used to jump right out of my arms to see the lady in his daycare. I always tried not to take it to heart and would tell myselft atleast he likes her so she must be taking good care of him. I know it is hard....hugs.

Thanks Kristy. I am happy that he likes her so much and I know how much she cares about him and 99% of the time I am OK when he reaches for her or gets excited to see her whatever. This was the first time that he was hurt and wanted her and it just killed me a little. I know he loves me, and he was extra snuggly before bedtime tonight so that helped a little.

Awwww I'm so sorry

Dont worry, you will always be his mommy and regardless of how he may react in any situation you are his favorite no matter what. HUGS!

Aww that's hard. I went through the same stuff with my girls when they went to daycare, but I agree, if he wanted her at a time like that he must be getting taken care of VERY well :-)

I am sorry. *hugs* I couldn't imagine. But on the flip side at least you know he likes her. Not that it helps make it better.

aw, I want to cry a little bit too. at least you are able to see the silver lining, he obviously loves his daycare provider and trusts her. but don't worry, he knows you're his mama, and he loves you the most!

Aww...my heart broke for you too. I am glad he was extra snuggly tonight.

Thanks girls- your kind words really made me feel better. My IRL friends don't have kids so they just don't get it. AND tomorrow is Saturday so he's all mine for two whole days
