Interested in different perspectives and opinions on this- good or bad of course!
I have a 9 month old and I’m due to go back to work in June. Work have been great and offered me 3 days a week- I know I’m very lucky to be able to do this.
The issue is that my daughter doesn’t sleep and it is getting worse. She is currently awake every 1-2 hours.
I’m used to it and I can get through the day if we are at home- able to wake up a bit later etc.
I’m just incredibly anxious about being out the door by 7.45am having been awake all night and then having to go into work all day then do pick ups/ drop offs at nursery. She is also quite a difficult baby and I’m worried about how she will settle in.
DH will be working away 2 days a week so that’s added pressure.
I just feel like I have to ‘have it all’ - be a working Mum but the thought of it stresses me out and I’d like more time.
My work may offer a career break ( 1 year) but DH wants me to go back- I understand where he’s coming from but he doesn’t do most of the night wakings and is gone early in the morning so won’t have to get the baby up/ fed and ready.
AIBU to want more time off? Or should I just get on with it?
