In a tearful video, a mother shares her thoughts, feelings and fears about returning to work after giving birth to twins. She is completely authentic and honest about what she feels at that moment. Watch the short but powerful clip to hear what she has to say about leaving her children and returning to work.
There is no greater blessing on Earth than being a parent. No title or position is more important than being a mother or a father. Children, while they are full of energy and tend to cry a lot, bring so much joy and happiness to every household. Of course, this is something that every parent knows and understands.
Every parent would trade anything in the world for more time with their children. Sadly, because having a job and making a living are necessities, many parents don’t have the luxury of staying home with their children all day. But that time with one’s children is precious because those moments can never be recovered.
In a clip posted on YouTube, one mother shared her fears about returning to work after being home with her twins for the past three months. With tears streaming down her face, she expressed her thoughts and feelings while holding her twins. These thoughts and feelings are likely ones that every parent has felt as they transitioned back to work following the birth of children.
“So, today is my last day of maternity leave, and I go back to work tomorrow,” she said. “And I just…feel like I haven’t had enough time with them.
“It’s just such an abrupt change,” she added. “You’re with your babies all the time, and then you pick them up from day care and you might just get a few hours.”
Later in the video, she explained how, at that moment, she felt “so disconnected” from them and feared that her children would forget her.
The time with our children is precious. They are only little for a short time. Blink, and their childhood is over.
Proverbs 22:6 “If a child is trained up in the right way, even when he is old, he will not be turned away from it.”
