Just think about what an amazing role model you’ll be to little one and how much you’ll appreciate your time together. I feel the exact same, heart broken but I know I’m doing it for him so I can provide for him xx
I've come back 5 days a week because I have to and it's tough knowing I'm missing out on things, but it means our weekends together are extra special because I know we don't have as much time together. I also know that because I'm going back to work I'm keeping her fed, clothed and a roof over her head 😀
You'll have every evening and weekend, don't feel guilty. There are 168 hours in a week and if you are working 40 hours then you still have lots of time. Could you take unpaid leave some days?
