Dd1 is nearly 3yo and dd2 is nearly 1yo.
I went back to work 1 day a week in between the two dc and didn't find it this hard last time.
I work Fridays which is dh's day off so don't have child are costs which works well for us. I don't get paid enough to put them both in nursery.
Basically I feel like I'm struggling to cram everything I need to do into one day and due to the nature of the job it's impossible for me to bring any of it home to do in the evenings. I find it very difficult to switch from sahm-mode to work-mode and I know I'm not doing a very good job. My immediate line-manager has very high standards, which I don't have a problem with, but she doesnt have kids and I dont think she understands what I'm going through. I'm still bfeeding dd2 so Dh gives me a lift to work and I feed dd in the car immediately before and after work (she doesn't take a bottle). She is also waking up 3x a night so I am constantly knackered.
Can anyone else relate to all this? If not, please will someone tell me to stop winging and get a grip!
