Bless you , the hardest thing I’ve ever had to do. This time off has been so precious x
Yep... i am SO unbelievably lucky and dont go back until April due to a variety of very lucky turns. But god i am in bits about it. Wished I could be a SAHM but hoping to return on 3 days a week instead xx
Going back in January and I'm so upset about it 😞 I want more time but also know we need the money to give her a better life. ☹️
Yes! I keep getting upset at the thought of going back to work and feel like I’m ruining these last couple months worrying about it but I can’t help it 😖
Mines ended already, I'm on holiday now technically 😭😭 back in Feb I think... I'm looking forward to some normality but dreading it at the same time.
Going back in February and it’s definitely bittersweet as I love my job but will miss slow paced life and cuddles all day. My girl already did some settling in sessions at the nursery that went well so I know she will do great there.
I have so much anxiety about going back that it’s ruining the remaining 2 months I have left
I go back on Monday 🥲🥲 just wanna cry and feel incredibly guilty that he will be going to a childminder
Yes!! Just over 2 weeks and I’m back ! Thursday is my last day just me and her 😭 as my partner will have a few weeks off with us. I cry all the time over it.
Thankyou all for your comments at least I know a lot of people feel this way
Exactly the same! We have spent every single day together for the last year. He feels apart of me and me of him. breaks my heart the thaught of leaving him for 15+ hours at a time
I go back in March and dreading it, especially being at work on her birthday 😭 I know she's going to absolutely love nursery and I'm so happy that we got her a space at my dream nursery, but I can't help but think of all the things I'm going to miss.
Totally relate to everyone here
@Ruby I feel you. Me and my husband will be asking the nursery to NOT tell us about first step/word if this happens. That way we will not miss it.

@Dragon mummy I know in some nursery’s they aren’t actually allowed to tell you which I find good but my mother in law will be our main source of child care and I just know however much I tell her I don’t want to know and if it happens not to say anything she will out of excitement 🙈 I’m just hoping she starts walking writhing the next 2 weeks before I go back to work 🤣
I think about the lovely times we’ve had together over the last year and feel like it’s being taken away . I will miss her so much😓
Yess, I’m absolutely heartbroken! I go back in just over 2 weeks baby girl is so close to walking and I can’t stop crying over the fact I might miss that milestone 😭
