Wfh mamas

Any other mamas wfh and have returned to work recently? My first day back was last thursday and I have about a month to ramp back into the work but dang were those two days overwhelming as hell. I worked from home when my middle child was a baby but i dont remember it being this hectic lol. I know once we get into a routine it will get easier. I am going to start meal prepping so i dont have to worry about what to eat and actually eat lol. But What are some things you are doing to get through the work day?

I feel for you! I have a July baby and I'm just getting ready to go back to work in January. Hang in there! I am trying to make some freezer meals in preparation. Instant coffee and protein pancakes in the microwave will be my best friends in the morning! As a side note, I feel like the corporate work environment has become more and more chaotic. Maybe that's part of what you're feeling? Are you comfortable with your child care situation?

It can be overwhelming. I also have a July baby and went back to wfh in september. Meal prepping is a great idea. I also have toys laid out for my baby and I keep rotating him so he doesn’t get bored. Like a bouncer, a little chair with toys, a play mat, etc. I take and make a lot of phone calls and got called out twice because my supervisor could hear my baby on the call. I dont want to pit my baby in daycare and cant afford it either. So I set up a play area in the living room with a camera.

@lindsey yes! I made protein pancakes and waffles for the mornings! Child care is me lol. I only have meeting with internal teams so im trying my best to get his nap times around the meeting times

@Celina im not customer facing anymore but i was in 2020 with my middle child and those noise canceling headsets saved me lol . Have you tried those?

It can be overwhelming. I have a customer service job so I’m on the phone 70% of the time so we got a part time nanny

@Bre yes I have the noise cancelling ones too
