Feeling sad.

Trgree1712 · June 2014

So one month from today I will have to go back to work and I'm starting to feel very sad about it. I can belive that I won't be able to spend everyday all day with my little one.

I go back today. I leave in like 30 minutes.

I'm freaking out.

Hugs to both of you!

Hugs ladies. I was a mess when I went back after my first. You can do this! Take it one day at a time

Thanks for the hugs. I'm still enjoying time with my little one but it just seemed to hit home this morning for some reason. I'm sure we will all get through it and everything will work out.

This is my second week back at work, and I have to say, so far this week is harder than last...the weekends go by way too fast!

For what it's worth, I left my job when LO was born 6 weeks ago, and there's a small part of me that misses that life already. I'd actually like to go back into my office and I have tremendous admiration for the women who are able to be stay at home moms...I don't know that I'm cut out for it!

I went back yesterday & cried all of Saturday & the whole drive in. It helped that we were busy cuz I stayed distracted. Still sucks tho!!!

Today is my first day back too. My hubs is staying home with our twins and I'm texting him like crazy because I miss them. :-/

I'm looking forward to getting back to work but absolutely dreading send my babe to daycare!

I go back on June 30.

When I had my first I had a really hard time with going back to work. I cried so many times. I almost quit at least once. But I am so glad I stuck it out and he has never had an issue with me working, or knowing I am mommy, or anything.

This time I am looking forward to getting out to adult time again although I really don't care for the job I had so I am hoping to find something different. But SAH has not entered my mind at all.

Same boat here

I foolishly only took 8 weeks of Mat leave and only have two weeks left. I am kicking myself for it. I am looking forward to a routine and feeling like I've accomplished something during the day,however. I am also a bit anxious to see how it will all work with time management/breastfeeding. Good luck I know it will be a huge adjustment for us all!

I feel similar. I don't make enough money to cover childcare so it makes no financial sense for me to not stay home. I miss working though a lot and worry about where I'll get enough adult non baby oriented interaction. I am scared of losing myself and only being mommy and not myself in a fuller sense.

I wish more of us lived in countries where we had better options.. Those of us who'd like to stay home could, and those of us who wanted to head right back to work could. It's heartbreaking across the board how limited the options are for so many of us.

I have two weeks left at home. I'm so sad about going back and leaving my little girl

Edit: spelling

Second week back here, and this week was way harder then the first since my mom watched Aiden last week, and he's going to daycare this week. I keep telling myself that he'll be fine, he's in good hands.

DH encouraged me to call daycare to see how he's doing today - I felt like an idiot doing it, but it helped me more than anything. I miss my little guy!
