Mom's in full time work

You're doing what's best for babies future if it stems from a need to earn. I went back after three weeks and people said I was selfish, didn't care about baby but no. Fact of the matter is somebody needs to earn the £££ and it sure as heck wasn't going to be my partner who works an extremely low paid entry level job. If you don't work, no roof. No roof, no home for baby. You're doing your bit :) Although every now and then I do wonder what it'd be like to not work 🤔

I started back today, I'm not gonna lie I love the bright side of it like some peace and quiet and a hot coffee. Adult chitchat. Being called by my name and not mummy for a bit. Some days are long but honestly seeing their little faces when I pick them up from.nursery and get told what a great day they had can be lovely too. Also when they get big enough tonunderstand I like to imagine they'll think wow mummy what a role model being the higher earner and having such a fab career!

I'm back fulltime. I am also higher earner in our household so dad is taking on some of the childcare now, hopefully over time that will help them build their bond. I agree it's great that you get a bit of your own identity back again. And I must say I cherish time with my little girl so much more now. I race to pick her up. She beams to see me at the end of the day. We have lots of extra cuddles. She loves to show me all the new things she can do. It's also prepping her for the realities of life and when she has to go to school xx

I'm on week 3 of being back full time and it was hard at first but it does get easier. My nursery has an app that is updated with photos, meals, nappy change etc so I feel in the loop. Be warned the germs are a killer, we have been ill non stop but he has come on loads with his confidence. Weekends are precious and certainly not long enough but you will adjust and remember your amazing and are doing what is right for you and your family. Just be kind to yourself while you are adjusting, sometimes house work has to wait while you have some down time. We are not super humans xx
