Benjamin was sooooooooo dramatic around that age. Now he's 14, and he's a sarcastic, funny little punk LOL.
I agree with Kristi too! It takes awhile for the kids to understand that you aren't just mom, you are a person too. I have had to have this conversation with my kids many times. I worked a lot over the past couple of years, and the kids complained, but we were able to go to Toronto and see a concert, go to Disney World, etc. If I wasn't working, none of that would be possible, and I tell them so. They stop complaining then, because they like going places.
He will get over it, it will just take a bit of time. The first time my mom went back to work it was quite an adjustment for us all, she was a stay at home mom, and it really took awhile to get used to!
