Can you relate?
I’m blessed with a long maternity leave and have no desire to return to my office job, however I also constantly feel smothered by taking care of my little girl all day every day and feel like it just never ends. I want to be here to be the one to raise her but I also want my days to start looking different. Anyone else feel stuck?

Yes. I don't go back to work til July and I been out since January lol. My baby is in daycare now but I'm still on maternity leave. We just wanted to slowly ease him into it before I go back to work. Normal feeling.
how do you feel being at home with the little one in daycare? I think the mom guilt may eat me up. Also I don’t want to pay for it 😩
tbh I only had guilt for a couple hours 😂 once I was able to see that I can get so much done while my little is in daycare it went away. I'm starting to find a balance between being the Mom me and being the "Bee" me. And it's great for my mental health.
I do pick him up early since I'm not working. Rn. When I'm done with my errands, I go get him.
I feel the same!! I just finished my 12 week maternity leave and it ate me up so I put my two weeks in. I hate going to work all day getting home and not even being able to spend time with him. I am looking for something part time or starting an online business so I can keep him and still make some type of income!! Also something that I felt made me feel a little normal was going outside! It helped both of us to just take a walk or sit on the porch
yeah we try to take walks and I’m just now getting used to running errands with her. Getting out and about does help, but seems like a daily mental health battle
