Hi all
I'm so torn on what to do...
So I've always been very driven and ambitious and worked hard for 10 years to gain qualifications and get to my job. I'm very proud of what I do and feel it's the main part of my identity.
However
I now have a 6 month old baby and am thinking about what to do when my maternity leave ends.
I HATE the idea of leaving her in nursery full time. I'm sure everyone feels like that. I could return to work part time, but I'm struggling with that idea too. She's a terrible sleeper and super clingy and generally I feel torn to be apart from her too. Thinking about leaving her is stressing me out so much and it's months away!
I could, possibly, earn money doing some consultancy, so the finances would be ok. I worry that I'll regret loosing my position in such a great company and that I'll loose my identity.
We want another child quickly. So should I take a few years before going back properly, or not
