Feeling depressed whenever nanny is about.
I’m very lucky to have a nanny to help me out with my 5 month old baby. However whenever she’s here I just feel so empty and useless. I go immediately into a zero motivation hole and just start scrolling my phone in bed.
When she’s gone I’m motivated and busy taking care of my baby and family. Cleaning, cooking, shopping, going for walks.
Am I just sad to be separated from my baby? Is it normal?

You just need time to adjust. When I went abroad and got a nanny personally for me I enjoyed every second because I was able to do things for myself and take care of my mental health and at the same time have a balance of being a mum and being me.
sounds like you don't need her

If that’s how you feel then do you really require her? Is she helping you or hindering you at this point?
