Hi,
So I have just returned to work after 20 weeks Mat leave.
The first day I was back, one of my male colleagues decided to tell me that I was a bad mum and shouldn't I be at home with my kids, why was I back to work. My new baby is our third and final baby, I didn't get to take any longer off, because quite frankly I have a good paying job and we both need to be working.
My husband does days and I have evening/night shifts, we make it work between us and are lucky enough that we don't need to pay for childcare.
Then last night a well know "mummy blogger" was at my work and she had a baby recently and we were talking and I mentioned about my LO and she asked me "what are you doing here, if you have just had a baby?"
Shit the guilt trips are being laid on left, right and centre.
AIBU to think that dad's returning to work don't get asked these questions 😔
