I have toddler twins and a 5 month old and am dealing with a serious case of mum guilt so I’m just wondering how those with little children deal with it.
I work (although been on mat leave and a career break) in a pretty high pressure job where, at times the hours can be long and unpredictable. My husband also works long hours, although without extenuating circumstances his shift pattern is pretty reliable. I’m now considering when would be the right time to return to work so we are at the point where we’d have to consider hiring a nanny to have some sort of reliability and I am feeling like the worse mum in the world over it.
I am in a position where I could stay home with the children, and for a while that’s what I was planning to do, however I absolutely love my job and don’t want to put the 6+ years of University to waste.
My husband has been absolutely amazing and said he’ll support whatever my choice is, I’m just wondering how other mums do it. I don’t want a nanny to raise my children so was just wondering how others strike the right balance.
