So I'm due to go back to work pretty soon and dreading the whole idea of it... If I stick with the job I'm on maternity leave from (and really don't enjoy this job, was meant to be a part time getting me through university job) my mom can look after DD on afternoons while I work part time... If I take the job I've been offered which I originally always planned to do after University I would have to leave DD in a nursery and work full time... but then pay out a lot of the extra pay on nursery fees.
hate the thought of seeing her so little and leaving her with people I don't know! And paying so much for the nursery makes me think its not worth it for the tiny amount of extra pay and the huge amount of time I'd miss out with her.. Ideally would stay off work with her but who can afford that with bills to pay!!
Has anyone else ever had to make a decision like this? And what were your experiences going back to work? First child if you couldn't tell so feeling very overly attached!
