Hi all,
I was just wondering if there was any other mums here that have young kids and travel a lot with work?
I'm not long back from maternity leave and have 1 DC at home - 1yo. I'm really struggling! I work in sales, high pressure, long hours. I am traveling either up and down the country or abroad at least 2-3 nights a week and I just miss my dc unbelievably! I cry every night I am away and the night before I go. I just can't cope.
I would struggle to move roles as it's a very specialist area and it's taken me over a decade to gain the knowledge I need to do my job, not sure what else I could do that doesn't involve travel. Even if I found something it would likely be a huge pay drop which we can't afford. I also want another dc so don't won't to move jobs just to go straight into mat leave.
Any tips on how to cope till I am off on mat leave again?
Thanks x
