Work...
HI all,
Hope you and bubbas are well.
Just wondering if any of you have or are going back to work soon?
I go back after the easter break for three days and Ollie will go to nursery. I know I will have to be super organised for the three days. Have mixed feelings as love spending time with Oliver but also enjoy my job and we need the money.

Am overwhelmed! I love my job but feel like the person that i was then is so long gone! I'm so worried i won't be able to let go of thoughts of LO and do my job properly - worried i won't be able to face my boss with my muddled brain (im sure pregnancy, childbirth and motherhood leave you permanently damaged, lol). Im also bf lo and am going to try and meet his needs, bought a pricey pump and only working 3 days but somedays i wonder why i've added this stress to myself.
I think carrying on will help the bonding when i see lo again and keep us close :-/ and im lucky my mum and oh are doing most of the child care, with a little bit of nursery 1-2 half days a week which is not enough to tire him out but enough to be exciting for him (i hope).
I am the most disorganised person i know so my main fear is not being able to juggle things. Don't want to be a bad mummy and a bad employee! x
I did want to go back part time and me and hubby to share the childcare, but it's just not feasible. Hubby is self employed, but there are certain hours he has to work, and it wouldn't fit in with my work pattern, even if they allowed me flexible working i'd have to work when the library is open and it just wouldn't work out. We also only have one set of parents nearby, and they often go away as they have a house in Spain, so we didn't want to rely on them.
What with nursery costs (not that i wanted him in nursery anyway) and the fuel costs i'd incur driving 30 miles a shift it just made no sense in the end. Going to work for hubby which will save him some money on replacing the next person who leaves (he works in pubs so staff come and go) and we'll just manage.
Not told family or work yet though!
Just a thought

I quite like my job, i went p/t when i went back after my son was born and work 4 days. He went to my Mams two days a week and mil's two days a week. He will start school in Sept so dont need to worry about him. I was planning on going back to the same arrangement but my little girl HATES my mil! she screams as soon as she looks at her! My current plan is to try and persuade hubby to let me work 3 days and let my Mam have her all the days i work!
Wish I could win the lottery!
