To the mums that have gone back to work, how have/are you finding it? I’m due to go back end of this month, only 2 days but I’m absolutely dreading it🥺

As a teacher and single mum, I went back in July full time and worked a week to ease me back in and then of course the holidays again. That week went a lot better than I thought it would as I had a rough idea of how my mornings would work before leaving home and what I needed to do when I came home on a nihnt. The first day was tough as I was constantly on edge and wanting to hear how my LB was doing with my mum but as the week went on it did get easier. Tomorrow my little one starts a new routine of childminder for 2 days and then grandmas for the remaining 3. He’s been for settling in days but was wobbling on the last one so I’m wary about tomorrow. I’m trying to be strict with myself and know when I need to start saying no so that I can enjoy my evenings with my son without my work getting in the way. It’s a hard balance but one that will come!

I'm starting a new job tomorrow and LG starts with the childminder. She's used to boob feeds and contact naps so it's going to be a big adjustment for us both 🥲 I'm doing 4 days a week with Wednesdays off so we still have time together to reconnect midweek 💜
