Going back part time at work

I went back to work when my little girl was 9 months old she’s currently 11 months I went back part time at first which was lovely and then after 6 weeks I went back full time which I regret as iv missed a lot of my little girls goals and it’s taken a massive toll on my mental health which I’m trying to fix so I’m a better person/mumma

What did you all do when you went back to work ?

Part time, I dropped Friday's when I went back to have a full day with LO. Then after 6 months I dropped an hour a day as I was exhausted. Now he's at school I didn't have to change my hours and I still have Fridays off 🙌🏼

I’ve gone back on reduced hours, 25 a week but I do 5 days a week still.
I have an older child at school, so I get to do drop off and pick up now and spend the afternoons with both my boys ☺️

I literally went back to my normal shifts so i do 5 days 45 hours but while at work i get photos videos sent to me of my lo and i video call her about 3 times so it really helps

I went back full time (not the original plan, my husband changed job to better his mental health and his wage dropped by over half). I hated it! So I dropped a day. I find 4 days is a good mix. But thankfully not missed any big mile stones. My daughter took her first steps infront of us and im so glad we saw that together

SMP

Am I being out of order to my partner?
I have just received my first months SMP pay.
We knew things were going to be tight for paying bills. So to help out financially I have done extra work this month at a second job to help pay a little extra towards bills and to be able to have some extra cash for day to day life.
I must’ve work well this month as I have nearly enough to cover half of our joint bills. However my partner is now saying that I can pay everything I have towards our bills leaving me with nothing, but he can’t spare the extra £200 difference because he can’t afford it 🤯

I’m sorry but I’m feeling this is really out of order and unfair? Firstly I have been out and worked my butt off in a manual labour job, whilst looking after our now 7 month old baby to earn this money to help our family through the next 3 months only to have to carry on paying my usual share of the bills leaving me with absolutely nothing 😤

He can’t see why I have and issue and why I feel so disappointed in his lack of help.

Like am I just too old school in my thinking that a man should be providing for his family?
At this point I feel like I should just return to my full time job and figure out how to juggle working full time whilst looking after our child as she doesn’t go to nursery until January

Birth control options

Hey mamas! FTM here! I’m 2 months postpartum and starting to look into birth control options. I wanted to ask other moms what birth control you use, what you recommend, and what your personal experiences have been like. I’m a little nervous about choosing one, especially when it comes to side effects, weight changes, hormones, etc. I’d love to hear your experiences and recommendations! ❤️
