Boss babe to mommy

I feel the same way. I work remotely from home with the baby here. I have a nanny but my daughter is 15 months now and is very clingy.

It was very tough when I first went back to work in Jan, I felt such an identity crisis. But I gave myself some grace - I’d just had a baby!! I knew she would only be little for a short while and to try and embrace all the moments - even the smelly ones and the endless tantrums that happen sometimes. I tried to dedicate some time to myself and my goals too which at the time was looking for a new job which I finally got just under a month ago. My new role offers me the flexibility to work from an office and also home and work my own hours so again, I just try and strike a balance where I’m present for my daughter but also building myself in my career. Some days are tough and it’s hard to have that balance but again, I try not to be too harsh on myself. All things will come in time as long as we put in the work, but rushing to go back to “the old you” is not fair on yourself.

I think that being a parent is the best job role to have. People used to commend others for being parents until recent years Your on call 24/7 Dealing with someone who doesn't understand your language and you physically teach them to speak You deal with tantrums and miscommunication You have to be diplomatic and problem solve to get things done Why do you think, especially women, nowdays are burnt out and dont feel like they are being good parents or not good workers? Because both corporate and being a parent are thankless jobs. Your work doesn't really care about u and your family And your kids dont care that your working to provide money for their things So you just scrape by in both
