Back to work today and....
I hated it. I used to love my job and my class but now I just really wanted to leave! My classroom had been trashed by the person doing my maternity cover, personal stuff ruined etc. I forgot how many times people said to me today'while you were away we did it this way' and in the end I snapped and said 'well I'm back now we go back to doing it my way'. Felt a little mean but then they have been allowed to run riot while I was away (no body took on my management responsibility while away on maternity you see, head to tight to pay someone the extra money). I had been in a few times for meetings and before maternity was thinking about changing jobs, but now I am looking for a new job. I need to work 13 weeks before I can leave or else I have to pay back part of my maternity pay, so have to stick it out a while yet.
My priorities have now changed since having Lily and I don't want to come home a grumpy mummy because I hate where I work!
Anyway, just wanted to get that off my chest before hubby gets home from work as I will go on about it all night to him!
Hope all you mummies are well and happy!!!!!

I was, to be honest, a workaholic and I know I can't (& don't want to be be) be like that when I go back. Really hope it picks up for you once you get back into the swing of it and silly people stop saying daft things.
A change sounds good-what do you fancy doing instead? x
I hated Lily being in nursery - she only goes two days as I have a day off in the week and hubby has a day and a half off so only goes to my mum for the afternoon on a Friday, so that is ok. I do know what you mean Katie tho!

I was always honest about not wanting to return full time and infact my job isn't really there for me to return to!
crafticharlie is right about you doing the 13 weeks in any school as long as the same lea but i think that now you've started you'll have t keep working somewhere, and I imagine you'll have done 13 weeks by the time summer term starts? It will take me forever to do my 13 weeks spread over 1 day a week..........lol
I'm dreading going back in June! I have a managment role too and am hoping they will let me go back in a teaching role as I don't want the stress! Before I went on mat leave the HR manager said that should be fine but I now have a new line manager so God knows what she'll think - I haven't even met her yet!
I am miffed about my personal stuff, I even hid it ina cupboard and said it was mine and not schools, but the cheeky madam has been and let the kids rip books, scribble on things I made like snap cards and phonics games etc. She is still working in the school and I think is annoyed I have come back and she is now just doing in house supply cover. I put my start date as the first day as the xmas hols so I have already done '2 weeks' so only 11 to go which is up to Easter then I can go! The atmosphere has been bad in school since this time last year and I was hoping it may have changed but it hasn't! I am soooo looking forward to my wednesday off! Only tomorrow to work then a day off yay!!!
Spedshaw I have Year 2 children and a few year 1s this year.

I have a feeling that I'll be in a very similar situation when I go back to my school. I've been wanting to leave for a while now but I wouldn't have felt right getting a new job while I was trying to get pregnant. So I can fully understand why you would be wanting to move on after 6 years- hope things work out for you!
