Omg that's terrible. People go back to work early for a number of different reasons and it's nobody's business why ... Every mama is different and everybody's situations are different ... it doesn't make any mama more or less amazing than another ... You do you girl!
🙋🏼♀️ I went back to work 25th March when my little one was just over 4 months old (born 19th Nov)😢 not because I'm a horrible mother or through wanting to but because I have a mortgage & bills to pay. Must be nice not to worry about finances. I did drop a working day and no longer work Wednesdays for a balance and chance to still go to baby groups, but that's what I needed to do. Ignore the narrowminded 🐄, some just don't see past their own view of what suits them or is right for them.
Thanks ladies 🥰 she’s not paying my mortgage so doesn’t get to comment 😅 of course I missed him terribly but he’s happy and healthy, so yay to that. We just have to do what we have to do, don’t we! I think some people need to remember that criticising someone else’s parenting doesn’t make them a better one- most of us are just out here trying our best and muddling through the best we can!
Wow I’m so sorry someone was so horrible 😢 no one has any right to judge anyone’s circumstances or choices. Hope you’re ok xx ❤️
I’ve gone back to work when my son was 8 months old and it was the best decision ever. I am in a much better place mentally. It has actually made me become a better mom. He loves nursery and is so happy there. So many women go back to work after a year because there is a lot of social pressure to not go back before or we are bad moms. A lot of them actually end up being stressed, frustrated and unhappy because they aren’t socialising anymore. Do what feels good for you and don’t listen to others!
That’s awful. I’m due to go back to work next week my LO is 10 months and I feel very grateful I’ve had this time with her but it never feels like enough. Mums feel enough guilt having to return to work and leave their babies with others and trust them to look after them without people commenting stuff like this, how awful not everyone’s circumstances are the same and unfortunately the way the world is right now they must count themselves extremely lucky to be able to stay at home with their babies.
I’ve messaged you! X
