My baby is nearly 11 months old now and I will be going back to work in mid Sep. This is my second DC and my older DC is 4. I am feeling so conflicted about going back to work and how I will cope with everything.
I have got a lovely childminder where baby is doing settling in sessions now. I was so clear earlier about going back to work but now I am feeling torn. I am still breastfeeding and she doesn't drinks from bottle, only sippy and open cup. She has been with mostly but is very social as we have her grandad living with us. Older DC is at preschool.
I thought it would be easier this time round but finding it harder. I am going back only part time and it's a good flexible public sector job and I have worked hard to get there. Pay is decent at 70k and my DH is going to support whatever I do but leaving would mean I will lose financial independence as well as we won't be able to afford our current lifestyle.
Appreciate any advice and suggestions.
