@Jenn I just wish I was rich and could stay home with him forever 😂😂 when are you going back? Are you going back part time? X
Set to go back full time in July it's so horrible isn't it! We've got such a shit system for maternity 🙄🙄
Set to go back mid August part time and I'm dreading it😫😫but saying that I could never be a SAHM as my sanity would go out the window🤣🙃x
Me too. I'm due to go back in June 3 days a week. 8hrs is too long to be away with a stranger 😭 I also have some self-employed work, wondering if I should just resign and rely on my self employed income
If it helps, I remember when my first was 9 months, a day at work felt so relaxing compared to all day with him! I went for a phased return over a long period, so that really helped.
I went back to work when my baby was 6 weeks old :(
I’m back at work to but I wfh and my partner is home with the baby in the mornings, she goes nursery 3 afternoons, I am definitely one of the lucky ones 🍀
@Pia how did you get a phased return? Is it something your company offers?
Awww ladies, you’ve all made me feel so much better! I think I’m going to go back to work 3 and a half days so I still get weekends + an extra day with him but it will be hard! @Lauren @Kara @Xing Yi @Pia @Millie
@Kath bless you! I bet that was hard but at least it was out the way, I feel like I’m getting more and more attached each day. I’m going to be terrible come April
I’m the same with my little girl. When I had my boy (now3) I couldn’t wait to get back but this time around I’m already like urgh I don’t want to. However in saying that I do think it will be good to get back to adult conversations and being more me then just mum x
I feel exactly the same! A PIT in my stomach just thinking about it 🫠😓😭
