Mt ds is 15 months old and I came back to work full time when he was just 4 months old. When he was 9 months old I dropped my hours and now only work 3 days a week. This means I get to spend 4 days in a row with my ds and we have so much fun and I adore spending time with him. I dread Wednesday coming around because it means I have to take him to Nursery (which he really enjoys) whilst I go to work. I used to love my job, my boss is fab and was so helpful in allowing me to drop my hours, and they are really flexible with doctors appointments and coming in late etc. However, just lately I really hate being at work. I sit at my desk and think about ds all day, wishing I was with him. I pray for Friday to come quickly so I can be at home. I also feel distanced from my colleagues who regularly have girlie nights out after work which I can never attend due to babysitting problems etc. Well, I probably could arrange a babysitter but I don't want to be at work all day, and then go out on the evening as I will miss ds even more. DH says I should give up work and try being a SAHM for a while, financially things would be a little bit tighter but we could manage. But this thought frightens me. I'm not sure if I would miss getting out of the house and my working environment. HELP!!!! I would love to hear any of your experiences.
