Back to work
I go back to work in just over a week and I am really struggling with it. I don’t like my job, and I don’t get along with the people in my department, they aren’t very nice, very judgemental and will make passive aggressive comments all day. I feel like I’m consistently having to defend my decisions. I have spoke to managers etc, but nothing gets done. Moving jobs isn’t an option right now either.
I was in bed crying last night about having to go back to work, and I know I’m going to get worse the closer it gets. Leaving my boy, who I’ve been with all day every day for a year.
How did you cope with the initial return? Any tips or suggestions would be appreciated
After how many days of accidents do you give up potty training?
We have started this week, tentatively since Sunday but this is day3 of wearing underwear.
We have some successes with pee but no poos and still around 6 accidents per day.
She seems to go to the potty to pee, does a small one but doesn't finish, then wets herself.
The problem I have is I work full time so she has been at nursery and at my mother in laws, so 2 different settings away from home. I don't have the option to take time off to stay at home currently.
I'm starting to think this isn't a success and to stop 😔 how many days would you give it if you had continued accidents, or would you continue?
Husband wants to go away daughter’s first weekend after starting primary school
Hi all,
Just looking for some advice / guidance. My husband has been invited to go away to Barcelona from Friday 4th September to Monday 7th September for one of his best mates 50th birthday. My daughter starts primary school on Thursday 3rd September and we have a 7 month old daughter as well. He told me this yesterday and it felt like he was just letting me know that he was going, however I have some reservations. I am conscious that this is a big transition for my daughter and she does struggle with transitions. It takes her quite a while to warm up to new people (but once she does, she loves them forever!). I am also conscious that if I’m on my own that weekend then I am not going to be able to give her as much attention as normal as I’ll be looking after her sister as well. He’s already celebrated this friend’s 50th in London a few weeks ago so this is an additional celebration and he’s been out a lot since our youngest was born. I’m not one to say no, but I’ve been having issues with him recently about it not feeling like he puts family first and this just feels like one thing he should say no to so that we can make sure our daughter feels safe and secure whilst she starts a new school with new kids, new teachers, new environment. Any thoughts very much welcome!
