Back to work

I’m going back to work on Monday and I am really not looking forward to it I’ve been offered promotion but no option to go back part time. I really didn’t want to do that. Mum guilt is kicking my ass and I’m getting really upset about it everyday I feel like im abandoning my boy. I also feel like my work load is going to be so hard. I feel I’m the only one on top of house work and that will be extra hard when I’m working I dunno girls I’m just a mess

They wouldn’t offer the option to go part time. You’d need to ask for it. And if they can’t do it they’d need to state how it would negatively impact the business not to do so x

Also, try speaking to your doctor about how you're feeling. Fortunately for me, I was allowed to split my leave where I came back part-time to ease back into work. Ask your doctor for a note asking to be placed part-time to give to time to mentally and physically get the feel of now entering back into the world as a working mom. Yoir thoughts and feelings aboit it all are very valid. I, too, struggled with that when going back to work last Aug. and honestly, even to this day. I'm currently on leave because I did need that mental, emotional, and physical break. Also, if that job can no longer accommodate your wants and needs as a new mom, try looking for another! Hope these suggestions help you a little! You got this😊.

I’m back on Tuesday with a promotion also! Also full time. Ps well done! You are absolutely not abandoning your boy, think of the example you are setting for him in terms of work ethic and how you can treat / live financially better. I did it once with my first born. It’s hard, but doable, and worth it. You’ve got this xx
