Maternity leave conflict ...

Lisa • Proud Momma of my beautiful rainbow baby born oct 2019 ❤🌹❤🌹❤🌹 Step Momma to 2 boys and 1 girl.

Hi mommas. So I have finally gotten to the point where I am struggling so hard with the thought of returning to work and having a babysitter watch my baby girl during the day, that I am seriously considering not returning to work. I feel guilty and awful though because I was so certain before I left that I would be back. I love my job and the people I work with, but I'm just not ready to go back, I want to be here and be the one who takes care of my baby and teach her things and read and sing throughout the day, I get so emotional thinking about returning to work and having some other women doing those things with my baby and not me it literally breaks my heart. I just feel extremely conflicted because although my husband can support us it would make things extremely tight budget wise, I feel bad putting that added pressure on him, and I also feel like I'm letting everyone down at work and don't want to burn any bridges. What are your guyses thoughts? Would you stay home if you could? Or is it a bad idea to leave work hanging?
