My story about: Attachment
FamilyEmily's story
July 02, 2007
When I first returned to work after my daughter was born, I feared that her attachment to me would lessen. I cried when I thought of how confused she would be, when most of her waking horus would be spent with her dad and a sitter. I remember calling my sister who had been through it all before me. She said, "You will always be Mom. No amount of child care, babysitters, or business trips will change that. Your daughter will always know who you are." And she was right. My eldest is now nearly seven and though I work full time, we are as close as a mother/child could be. The attachment between us has only deepened over time. And the fact that she also has strong attachments to other adults in her life just strengthens her confidence.
