I started back to work. Monday was orientation and it SUCKED!! I was in tears half-way through... basically bombarding us with rules and policies.... utter micro-management which I don't do well with. This was completely different than the impression I got when I interviewed so I felt deceived, not to mention I miss my baby terribly. So today I actually went to my office and it was a bit better and they reassured me that's not how their particular office operates, but I'm still extremely nervous. Everything was a mess, I didn't have access to anything, no computer set up, just complete chaos.
This transition has been super hard, I miss my baby beyond belief and leaving her now after being home with her for the past 8 months has been harder than when I left her to return to work when she was 6wks old. It's only been 2 days and I really hope it gets easier but there is nothing that I want more now than to be a SAHM. Please just keep me in your thoughts for the next few weeks as I try to get acclimated to working again and juggling everything.
Re: Can I whine and ask for t&p?
It sucks, but you just have to keep telling yourself that you're doing this for your daughter. I know it's hard when you'd rather be at home, but Kamille will benefit from the extra income in a number of ways. I know everybody says all a baby needs is love, but we all know that isn't true. Kids are expensive!
I hope you are able to stay optimistic and that things get better for you!
im so sorry...I work 2 part time jobs to equal about 30 hours but do most from home. I love the job I go into, but the one I do at home, I dont like hardly at all. It makes it so much easier when you enjoy what you are doing. I really hope it gets better for you, and you will def be in my thoughts and prayers as so many of us struggle with this daily.
