How do you balance work and motherhood?
I’m a first time mom to a sixth month old and can say it’s been overwhelming having to work and take care of her at the same time (my schedules are sometimes inconvenient for me and I feel like I never have time for myself anymore) I’ve been so exhausted I feel like a machine sometimes and I’m overwhelmed lately , do you ladies have any advice on how you combat with this or even some encouraging words♥️
I know this was posted a long time ago, but I stumbled across this and it’s like I wrote it myself! My son is 11 months old now and I returned to work when he was 9 months old. It has not been what I expected and I’ve been so overwhelmed I’ve broken down crying to a few colleagues a couple times. I do shift work and find it particularly hard to work the shifts where I know I will see him for an hour in the morning and then not for the rest of the day. If you have the support there then definitely get someone to take over for a few hours once in a while whilst you do something for you. Hope things get better and you got this!
