I’ve decided to go back to my job after months of thinking I would be a stay at home mom. My son will be 3 months old when I go back to work and I’ve decided to put him in a daycare that provides learning, stimulation, has great reviews, and makes me feel comfortable and i know he’s taken care of.

I really feel bad for putting him in daycare but i am not cut out to be a stay at home mom. I hate sitting at home all day. I love my son and want to spend every minute with him but i like to get out of the house every day or i start to feel depressed. I figured getting back into work would be good for me and i would make extra money that could be saved for my son and i to do extra things on my off days as he gets older.

(My husband is in the military so he’s not home a lot, and is being deployed in a few weeks for a year so that’s another reason i want to work since it seems to help keep me busy and not think about my husband being gone 😭)

Any tips on going back to work? How do you other mamas handle it? What about the schedule you kept with baby before like bedtime, etc? What did you have to change?

Do you enjoy going to work now that your back or is it extremely hard still??
