Going back to work
Show your support
I second the looking at all aspects before going back. My heart hurts just thinking about you having to leave 2 of them. I literally gasped. Sending my love. X

@Ariel thank you so much for your kind words & allowing me to think about these different options on what I can possibly do to make my situation easier. I also wanna thank you for letting me know the emotions are valid. My family (& dad’s) are giving me the run around because i do happen to feel that way. You’re amazing & thank you for reaching out to me about my feelings! 🩷
@SiSi Thank you!! I will definitely outweigh my options & look at the aspects cause I really don’t want to leave them. they’re so young right now & it hurts to leave, i can’t even go to the store without wanting to rush back to come home to them 😭
Absolutely mama! Your are doing great 👍 trust yourself. It may feel like a storm for a little bit but it will pass, it’s important to enjoy and thrive in this season of your life too, you’re babies will never be this small again 💜 it only happens once. Weigh your pros and cons and empower yourself to clearly articulate that to people around you, family and colleagues or bosses at work - all of them. I’m here to support you if you need.
Hey mama, gosh you’ve just gone through a huge change and with twins I commend all the effort it’s taking you night and day..return to work for me with a singleton was gut wrenching watching my baby need me more than anyone in the room and yet I had to go away to work. I can only imagine how you feel with two. I just want to stop by to say your feelings are very valid. This is a tough transition even for the toughest one of us. Your post here hits home for me in many ways of the plight for many working mamas. Any chance you can ask for more time off? Reduced hours? Part-time? Or perhaps look for something else that offers more flexibility? Is working during this season of life an absolute necessity? Can you downsize to single income household? If so, what would it take to transition? What would it take to make this more fruitful for all - you the children and husband. This is a season of your life, it will pass I’m sure, how can you come out of this feeling empowered?
