I go back in November and I'm dreading leaving her 😭

😭 it’s the hardest thing.. I start next week and I’ve been sooooo depressed about it

Ive started back this week and little one had his first day at nursery. I felt so nervous but I was able to call any time I wanted for an update and they uploaded pictures and updates on an app for us to see. Really reassuring x

It’s so fucking hard. But I will say, it’ll get easier when they walk and want to play and do activities. Mine started at 12 weeks and is 19 months. She LOVES daycare. Hugs her teachers, knows the routine. But I still miss her so much every hour.

I feel miserable

I know people only show the good on social media but I’m so fed up of the mum’s who film DITL’s on mat leave etc where they’re often going out for coffee, lunches, shopping, beauty appointments etc. where are they getting the money from to do this? My 1st mat leave felt miserable as some months I was only being paid £400 which didn’t cover the bills and didn’t leave much to enjoy. I really struggled initially until I found a way to make the best of it. My baby was born 2 months early so I ended up in a really complicated situation with my leave. I’ve gone back to work part time and earning absolutely nothing. Now due our second next year and already dreading mat leave as I know it’ll be so different to my 1st and on minimum pay with another child to fund. My husband has an average job on a reasonable salary like most of us do. I’ve had to stop getting my nails done each month, I never buy myself anything like new clothes etc, I’ve completely lost myself and I hate it. I’m looking into letting go of my car to release some extra money and alleviate pressure. Am I doing something wrong that all these TT mums aren’t?!

How does your male partner wash his face?

Do you think men should wash their faces with a cleanser too?
