Parenting after a Loss

Going back to work is really hard

Besides the obvious fact that I miss DS, this is so exhausting. The prep work to get everything ready, the commute, rushing to get him from daycare, squeezing in what little time I get with him at night, finding some time to shove some dinner in my mouth, lather, rinse, repeat. I knew it would be hard but wow.....I had no idea.

The upside is that my boss is letting me do a schedule of 4 tens. That way I get Fri, Sat, Sun off each week. This will be my first week trying it so hopefully the extra day off will help.

    I'm working two 8 hrs and two 12 hours with Mon, Tues, Wed off. It's working out so far but I'm going part time (but not really because I'll still be working 32-36 hours a week just only 3 days a week) starting in January, hopefully it will work out for you too.

  • I hope the extra day helps! I agree that it always feels like I'm running around these days, but it's worth it for the balance I feel like I have now. And those extra random days I take off are so much more fun!
