I returned to work in September after a year on maternity leave. I love my job as an Assistant Head in a large city primary school and there's nothing I'd rather do as a job but I'm really struggling to cope with the demands on my time. I'm so disillusioned by the daily grind and the rushing - I've been really tearful and stressed about not being able to 'do it all'. Once I've collected baby from nursery I rush home, feed, bath, and bed baby then have dinner, tidy kitchen, do school work for a couple of hours and then go to bed.
I work 4 days a week but end up doing work and answering emails on my day off rather than enjoying being with my baby. Any experienced mums have any suggestions for how to make life a little easier?
