I’ve been back at work after mat leave nearly three months and I just hate it so much. I used to be driven and confident and I just don’t care anymore.
All I want to do is be with my baby, who’s at nursery and I just feel sad. I miss maternity leave. I found maternity leave so hard I. The beginning as I adjusted to being a mum, and when I finally got in the swing of it I’m back here.
I have a very mentally stressful job, I’ve compressed my hours from 5 to 4 so I have a day off in the week.
hours wise I do have it good here so feel like I can’t leave, but I’m sick of the actual job, I’m fed up with it and frankly I don’t want to put the work in anymore. I get paid crap for the responsibility, which won’t change so feel irritated by that.
I can’t reduce hours because we need the money as we need to move.
What can I do? Surely I should be back to how I was pre baby at work now? My head just isn’t in it and I’m trying but I’m not feeling better at all.
