Back to work soon

Heather

I am beyond bummed. I only have a few weeks maternity leave left and I am already dreading going back. I love my coworkers and my job but I’d give anything to be a stay at home mom/run a business from home (I have an Etsy store and want to get my photography business licenses). I’d quit since it’s just a job and not a “career” and I am offered no benefits (small company) and my leave is 109% I paid anyway, but with just my husbands salary I don’t think we could make it work forever. I just hate the idea of not seeing my child for the bigger part of the day (my hours are 5am-9:30am and then 1pm-5pm but he’d be with his great grandparents through my husbands whole shift which is 8:30am-5pm).

Anyone else out there dreading going back to work?
