I start my new job 2 weeks today after being lucky enough to have 16months off with my daughter.
I have had to return full time (although I wanted a part time role ideally) as I have retrained and am starting a new career in a new industry.
After a week of having a cold my daughter was up until 2am coughing and crying last night and it has made me feel really anxious and worried about starting my job.
I know everyone does it! But I'm really worried about not doing a good enough job if I've been up the previous night with my daughter and had no sleep.
Or her going to nursery if she's not feeling too good.
Or me not having enough motivation if I'm exhausted or missing her.
I'm hoping once I start the worries will subside a bit but I would really appreciate any help or advice on how working mums manage it, especially the doing a good job if you've had no sleep the night before.
Thanks so much!
