I totally understand momma, prior to me going on maternity leave I was not suppose to come back to work meaning I would be a SAHM but life unexpectedly took a turn and it broke my heart leaving him after 6 months of maternity leave
I totally understand. I’m a nurse and do 12 hr shifts so I leave before my son is up and get home after he’s put to bed. It’s so hard being away from him for so long but it does make my time with him so much more intensional and meaningful. I watch videos and look at pictures of him when I’m away and while he’s sleeping I’ll sing to him and kiss his head. So far, it hasn’t gotten easier but i am more accustomed to it. You can do it Mama ❤️ you aren’t alone
I wish I knew what to say to you to make you feel better or to lessen those feelings, but I don't. I'm just here to say I'm 100% right there with you. I'm also the breadwinner. I know I HAVE to go back, but I just don't want to. I just want to be with my Little Dude! This is my 4th, but I've never had to go back to work. I keep telling myself these feelings will pass. Sending you hugs💕
I climbed the corporate ladder and “made it” prior to having my first kid. I didn’t think I would want to stay at home at all but like 5 weeks into my leave I knew I couldn’t go back to work like that. We’ve had to make a lot of changes and I left my corporate job but I feel like it was the right choice for me and my kids are happy and thriving. Do whatever you feel is right and if you want to stay home talk to your partner about it.
It gets better , God will make a way he always does
Alec, yes. i can relate its very difficult. you have to make a choice. ill share... my most recent job was as a community liaison (in a corporate environment) earning very well and supporting my teen as a single mother. i became pregnant and still in a very sticky situation with daddy, leaving me confused about everything. i had a generous leave as well, giving me a total of 5 mo off. during these 5 mo i spend all my time bonding & enjoying baby boy that it almost felt unnatural to return to work. fast forward to two weeks prior to my return date i analyzed my situation, i had NO nanny, NO savings and had done NO pumping. however on better terms with daddy. i made the decision to quit cold turkey. i called my boss and told her i was going to be submitting my 2 weeks notice. i figured i rather figure out how im going to stay home rather than stress about child care & pumping (my thought process) i also had a talk with my baby daddy and told him i planned on quitting and needed him to
help and be the provider and take over all my bills (which he has). i returned to work on jan 7 , wrapped up everything, sent out a farewell email and was out! i ended up getting a nice little last pay and cashing out my retirement accounts for now but im home with baby boy. it was hard but its working out. best to you on your journey and you got this♥️♥️♥️
Aww I feel for you momma! I lost my corporate job last year while I was pregnant, and I never thought I wouldn’t want to go back to work. I’ve been loving being at home with my little one, and can’t imagine having to leave her to go back into the workforce. All I want to do is be a stay at home mom, but with rising cost of everything, I know I’ll soon have to return to work. I’m not sure what’s the best way to manage those feelings but possibly talk therapy could help or looking for another position where you can work from home.
