Maybe it’s partly because I hate my job and don’t ever want to go back… but I noticed it on my first maternity leave too. Within the first minute of bumping into anyone I know for the first time with the baby they will instantly ask when I’m going back to work. I then have to provide some vague answer, while having palpitations at the thought of it. Why are they asking? These people have never taken any interest in my work at literally any other time but suddenly when you’re off after having a baby it seems they must know when you’ll be back at your desk 🤦🏻♀️
