I am.....I'm tired....DS wakes up many times a night....I feel like cr_p....my head hurts....I hate my commute and I just want to be by DS.   I'm a new mom....of course I'm unhappy [working]!  Boss asked what he can do so that I enjoy work more.....I told him "naptime".

    For me, the first few months were rough.  Now we are in a good routine.  However, we have been blessed with a good sleeper.  I would be miserable without a night's sleep.

    My boss had the same conversation with me.  I was commuting two hours a day and when I asked to work PT that wasn't going to work, so I found a new job.  Not what boss wanted to hear, but it was getting too hard.  Not to be a downer, but eventually the lack of sleep becomes a normal part of your day.  And the nap thing - once in a while I did take a nap.  Sometimes at lunch in my car where it was warm and sunny.  Other times I would close my office door.  I set my cell phone alarm and boy, did 20 minutes really help.

    Can you work part time? Sounds like they might be willing to work with you. I worked half time for my first 4 months back, and it was wonderful to help us transition. Money was SO tight, but until DD slept through the night, it was what worked best for us. I gave work my best 4 hours of the day, then DD and I both took afternoon naps. Shame we couldn't make that work long term.

    Sorry!  It's hard to get excited about leaving your baby day after day.  Hope it works out.

    I am getting this too.  Except your boss sounds nicer.  Mine told me last month that I seem "distracted."  Duh, I am distracted - I have a LOT going on right now!!!
