She does have great teachers, I just felt that I should have been with her but I know you're right and it's definitely not going to be the last time…. Thanks for the hug x x

Thanks very much, it is the bad side of working isn't it but I'm telling myself that we've got a better life because I do work (probably so I feel better about going to work instead of staying at home lol).

Aw thanks very much – it is difficult I guess whether you're at home or at work, I never thought of that really.

I think that's how they're expecting Bethan's abdominal migraines to progress too – I have to keep an eye on her, especially when she hits puberty. Yeay – as if it's not bad enough dreading the usual teenage hormones lol

Oh, that must have been really hard!
It sounds like she has great teachers – and you can take comfort in the fact that she didn't want to come home.
As the mom of four mostly grown kids I can tell you this won't be the last time something like this happens. I don't think you can be a parent without having some regrets.

Urgh, I feel your pain. Every time Chick is ill I have to make these decisions and unfortunately sometimes work wins! The sucky side of being a working Mum and you certainly aren’t a bad one xx

Even when you are at home all day it is still hard deciding whether to send a child who says they are not well to school or not. You can never really tell. Please don't beat yourself up about it. If you had had no doubt in your mind you would not have sent her.

It’s tough being a working mum. My daughter also started off with abdominal migraines but now has full blown migraines 🙁 thankfully she’s now able to take meds to control them. Hope tomorrow is better for you xxx

You are one of the most caring mums I know. You would not have gone to work if you really thought she needed to be at home.
