I’m going to return back to work very soon aswell same working from home and in office im absolutely shitting myself coming home to my baby and how I can deal with it
I really am dreading it, due to financial reasons I am planning on going back full time. However I do have my mil at home to help, so half the week my lo will be at home and the rest with the child minder. I’m just so anxious! Should I just go back part time? will I ever be ready to go full time?
If you got childcare support at home it’s best to take advantage while you have it I would of done the same but I just moved out my mils house so the two days I go into office I’m sending her to childcare which I’m so scared about do it if you must really need to go back as full time but if you want you can go back part time like the way I am just to spend those hours with my baby so I don’t miss out on her growing 😩 can’t be away for so long. Then again if you do part time and feel like you would be able to do full time and will be able to handle it then you can always have it changed with your company and they should be happy with it , try discuss it with them if they would be happy to swap you from part time to full time when you want to change and feel much more happy to do full time
With my first baby, I returned to work when she was 8.5 months for financial reasons. The first few months were hard but manageable. I worked 3 days a week (as a teacher) though, and think that I would've felt differently if I was full time. I just reminded myself that going back was for her. I'd feel awful dropping her off at her childminder's but she was fine there and I enjoyed the days when I was with her xx
