Mum guilt.
Little one is 17 weeks old today and tomorrow I go back to work 😭😭 the mum guilt right now is off the chart so lord knows how I'm going to be tomorrow. I know she'll be more than ok with Daddy and Nanny (splitting her days with them while i work 4 days a week) but what about me?! I'm so worried about missing out on big moments and haven't left her for more than 3 hours with anyone else! If we could have afforded me to be off for longer I would have been but Statutory Maternity pay sucks!!! Anyone else back at work already? Please tell me it gets easier!! 🙏

I’ve been doing bits and bobs since she was about a month old, and am due to go back full time in a few weeks. I understand your guilt but you are providing for your family and your little one and that is nothing to feel guilty about. Just think what an amazing role model you will be to your girl when she’s older that you provided for her. And think about how amazing those cuddles will be when you get back home :) you can do it!
@Amy thank you for your words 💓💓 hopefully once the first day is over with I'll feel better about it! I'll be counting down the hours until I can get home for snuggles 😌
