Yup. Honestly that five little ducks song Ms Rachael sings where all the ducks run off one at a time then all come back at the end is enough to make me cry. At the same time, I love my job and my work family and office gossip and feeling like I can spend money on stupid stuff coz I earned my money. If somebody asks if I'm dreading going back to work or looking forward to it the answer is just yes. Having said all that, I work from home. If i had to physically leave him I think I'd want to quit.
I’m in the exact same boat, my little one is 8 mo in two weeks and I’m beginning to get so stressed and upset about going back to work. I’m putting off giving my work my 8 weeks notice for returning to work because I can’t bear the thought of leaving him constantly, as well as stressed about childcare!
My little boy is 8 months tomorrow. I honestly don't know where the time is going but it's making me so sad.
Yes 100% I am up and down all the time. It’s a big change, you’re not on your own. I am really appreciating the contact naps at the moment, trying to cherish the time together. The first half of maternity leave went slow but the last half is going so quick! x
