Its my second week back this week. It was so difficult, and I can't see it ever stopping being difficult, walking out the door, but my saving grace is I leave at 6.45pm when she is going for a bath and settling down for bed. That and I do full time hours over 3 night shifts, so I don't feel like I am missing out on home life too much.That’s such a lovely idea- I was a bit worried she’s too young for it but she’s not too young to actually listen to them I guess.
I work from home so I imagine it’ll be worst sitting in the house, if I’m out and about at meetings it will actually be easier as I’ll be distracted. I’m even thinking of going to a shared workspace on my wfh days just so I’m not moping/presumably taking my laptop into her room and sitting with her stuffed toys.
Do you find now you’ve been back a few weeks it’s got better?
She's also started to get on with nursery. She's going 1 full day & a half day. She has had some gorgeous photos taken & she's been an absolute star when I've picked her up.
Someone told me to make plans on your days off so you have something to look forward to with your family. So this weekend I've planned a lovely local walk, a cake and coffee & a movie night. I already can't wait for Saturday.
