Going back to work

Yes I feel the same and am dreading the day I go back. I’ve only been away from her for about a half hr one time.

if only stay at home moms got paid or they should give us a year paid maternity leave so we have their first year with them and not have to miss any milestones

I felt this way with my first. My employer allowed me to work from home until I was more comfortable leaving him home with dad or family. For me, that took about five or six months.

My July baby is my second and I am more than happy when I get a chance to run away from the kids 😂

I feel all of this.

With my first I went back to work at around 12-15 weeks and it was rough but my grandmother watched him and I worked 5 minutes away so I could visit on my break. A year later I became a SAHM due to medical reasons with my son.

Second son I love him to death. I made it very clear to my hubby the only way I am going back to work is if I work from home or am extremely part time outside of the house like 10-15 hours weekly. Other times with my two kids I’m like peace out cub scouts see ya on the flip side ✌🏻

The first few days suck don’t get me wrong and you will have mom guilt but you will also eventually feel like it is a break away from your baby which is also much needed. So think of it as you’re getting paid to take a break and become the best mommy you can be to your blessing!

Just started back to work this week and the first day was terrible. I cried leaving and the whole way to work, but each day has gotten a little easier. He’s been staying with dad which has been a bit of struggle as he’s spending most of the day comforting a fussy baby but having him stay with family instead of a daycare has made the anxiety much easier to deal with.

I struggle with taking a break. I rarely ever feel the need to and when I do it lasts like 5 minutes and then I’m like give her back. Even when family comes to visit if they have been holding her for a long time I have to stop myself from just going and taking her
