Who has already gone back to work or is going back soon?

Question

I go back this coming Monday full time 😭😭😭😭 I don't know how I'm going to leave my sweet angel baby!

Answer

I went back Monday. I was a wreck any time someone asked how I was doing. Ha!  But yesterday was a little easier and today a little easier still. I am lucky though, because I work in a school and winter break is around the corner.

Answer

I've been back for 9 weeks. It's not getting any easier. I teach elementary music and since being back, I've written a huge Christmas musical for my 600 students. Music, script, set design the whole thing. It was a HUGE production. But it was last night and I feel like I can go back to having a slightly normal life again. Just attaching the pic because I think it is funny! Teachers were my cast for my large speaking parts!

Answer

I went back when our LO was 2 months, and I’ve been back for 1 month now. It was brutal at first; I sobbed the first day and thought many times about quitting my job. But we need the money and honestly after I got back into the swing of things, it got easier. Don’t get me wrong, I miss her like crazy all day long, but it’s also nice to get adult time! We have a FANTASTIC child care provider who sends me pictures and updates all day, and she is with my friends 16 month old all day as well. It’s such an ideal situation for us being a family who had no choice but to have 2 working parents. I think the key is to have a job that understands that family is the #1 priority as well as a provider you can trust and feel comfortable with! I wish you all lots of luck and comfort; you’ll all do great! 💕

Answer

Ugh I go back on Jan 9th. I’ve been out since August 1st. I’m so dreading it. And I love my job. But I love my baby boy more. How do you leave a face like this...

Answer

I was supposed to go back but deciding to do a career change. Trying to get my real estate license (sooo hard to do with baby) I started it over summer but only 50% through first half. I gotta start getting busy with it. I may have to do something part time in the meantime for money. 
I hated my job though anyway. I wanted to quit 2 years ago and look for something else. I stuck it out though so I’d have maternity leave since we were TTC. So now I’m just not going back. So beyond over that place.

Answer

I go on the 20th. I hate it but we need the money!

Answer

I go back tomorrow 😩 I’ve been having anxiety and stressing all week about it. Unfortunately it’s financially necessary for us...I don’t want to leave my little boy!!! 😭😭😭

Answer

Will be going back after the holidays. Not sure how I will make it or how I will concentrate on the workplace. 
I would welcome the change to actually dress up and have my coffee in silence though. :)
