Back to work

So sorry I go back on Thursday

It’s definitely hard. Once you get a good routine though, it’s not bad. Still sucks but it gets easier(most days)❤️

Same, I’m so sad. I’m scared she won’t know me as much anymore

I’m supposed to go back next month. I literally just had a meltdown completely crying my eyes out about it with my partner. My mind is blown away on how terrible the US treats families and mothers..

I just went back last week. Its hard, the goodbyes in the morning are the hardest but it gets easier to be away afterwards. My son still prefers me to my parents (hours worktime caretakers) so don't worry about your little one not knowing you anymore, they will and they'll prefer you still too.

I’m so sorry! I go back to work on Tuesday and I feel the same way. 💔

Aww is there any way you could find a job with opposite shifts from your partner

@Mae how are you holding up?

@Marla yea, that’s what I keep hearing and do feel encouraged by!

@Katie how was it for you mama?

@Chelsea I haven’t thought about that but I don’t think I would like that. I’m hoping to find a stay at home or a part time job.

@Sierra that’s literally what I’m afraid of, sitting up in my room crying right now cause she doesn’t smile much at me and I don’t feel as bonded. Makes me sad

@Erin I totally agree!! Soooo not fair 😭

@Johanna I feel that 1000 percent

@Stephanie I've been back at work 2 weeks now and I was so afraid of him starting to prefer my mom (his gma) to me but he absolutely doesn't. And it makes me feel better when I come home and get him and he snuggles in to my arms like that's where he belongs. He doesnt smile much yet and so part of me wants to cry a little but we make up for it by snuggling and talking together the rest of the night (I get nothing done for the following 5 hours but him until he goes to bed) and he's starting to smile more and more just when he sees me. I think the age theyre at is only just starting to smile purposely so don't take it personally they're just not old enough yet I just know your baby loves you and you're her favorite

@Stephanie actually moved up to next Monday just to give myself a 4 day weekend lol

Back to work since the 1st. It’s hybrid so at least I’m home twice during the weekday, but those 3 days gone are so so tough. I want to cry all day long and worry about him the whole time.

@Sierra thank you so much for sharing this, means a lot that you took the time to do so! Appreciate the encouragement

@Mae good idea!

@Aline aww I’m sure, that’s so tough!
