How's it going for those who have gone back to work? What is your childcare situation? Was it an easy transition?

I go back in two weeks. I'm looking forward to it but DH thinks I'll be depressed. We will be doing part-time in-home daycare.

I'm going back in about another week, and I'm lucky that my employer is letting me 'wean' into working again so that I can get accustomed to a system. My biggest worry is pumping at work, because there's only a bathroom to do that in! For now, I'm going to have trusted family or DH watch DD until we can get a system going for when DH and I will both be working pretty much full time in the summer (ah tourist towns!!). I'm thinking I'm going to end up paying family and friends for child care, rather than a daycare. At least I know them and I don't have to worry about DD getting sick from another kid!

I go back March 31. In a way I'm looking forward to adult conversation but I'm sure I'll miss having Rose to myself all day-an the ability to catch a cap nap if she has a rough night. I'm going back to work on a Thu so will work thu-fri then off sat-sun then back for a full 5 ady work week. I'm hoping this will assist with the transition. Our little one is going to the daycare that is next to the hospital I work for. Many of my co-workers send their kids there. My plan is to pop in next week and drop her stuff off/meet her "teacher" to make our first morning getting out of the house/back to work a little easier. We'll see in a few weeks how it goes.

I went back Tuesday, but I work p/t and Sully comes with me. The roughest part is the hustle has messed with his naps so he is fussy all day but sleeps awesome at night!

I go back May 1st and for only 7 weeks, then the school year is over. I still have some time. Im anxious to get into a routine, but sad to leave LO. My SIL will be watching him.

I go back on 4/18.I was looking forward to it, nb's are boring and day time tv sucks, but I left Lucas last night for 2 hours and hated it. I'm going to talk to my boss about starting part time for a week or two

I have been back to work for 2 weeks. I miss my alone time with my little guy. Right now my husband is being a sahd. My husband and I are are still deciding if he is going to continue to stay at home or go back to work.

I go back a week from Tuesday. Between my 40 minute commute and 40 hr per week job, I am really not looking forward to leaving LO and going back to work. The good news is, MIL will be watching him full time, and I trust her. It's a great situation for all of us. Still though, I really wish we could afford for me to SAH!
