Going back to work

How are you all coping going back to work? I go back tomorrow and have basically spent all day crying and trying to distract myself and not think about leaving him.

I’m not til june and absolutely detest the idea and makes me so sad I feel for you 🥲🥲🥲

@Tiff that's so amazing that you get a year!! I don't understand how where I am we are forced back to work so early. My son JUST turned 4 months and I can't believe I have to leave him. Luckily husband gets 3 months off and saved it for now instead of taking his leave with me so we can keep him at home longer.

@Mary Lynn I know where I work give you up to 12 months but it’s not paid after 9 but I just can’t bare the thought of ever leaving him. We didn’t have babies to have to go leave them it’s so so hard isn’t it I dread the day🥲🥲. At least he can stop with your husband and don’t have to pop him in a nursery yet but shame you couldn’t of had that together ❤️

@Tiff where I live job is only protected for 12 weeks but I was "lucky" to get 19 weeks off paid.

I had 2 months unpaid maternity break. I joined back in office after the 2 months else I feared they would fire me. Now baby is 5 months and he isn't been to day care yet, inlaws are tsking care of hum while we are at work, but I hate every moment I spent at work and I miss him so much. It's hard and exhausting and I'm missing out so much but I cannot stay away from work as I need the income. It's hard but you got this!

I start work in a few days and I’m dreading it 😭 i really hate the thought of having to leave my daughter
