I will be returning to work full time in January after having 10 months off (DD will be 9 months) and at the moment its just making me feel sad .
The last year has been amazing... I loved every minute of my pregnancy, her birth was a nice experience and we have done some lovely things and met some lovely people whilst being on maternity leave.
I have to return full time as we would like to move out of town for better schools for DD's future. I am also part way through a course studying HR. I have no idea how I am going to get anything done around the house, nevermind studying and selling our house aswell.
I feel awful about putting my DD in nursery full time and feel like I will be a part time parent. I've even cried a few times thinking she will have a better bond with the nursery staff than me. Her nursery is lovely and I have every confidence in them but I just wish she could be with me, even if it was only a day or two a week.
I can't really talk to DP about how I'm feeling as he just believes I should be returning to work full time regardless. As he works full time and doesn't get a day off with her, he doesn't believe I should either.
