Hi there,
I have an eight month old son who I absolutely adore. I returned to work a few weeks ago and miss him so so much. Everyday I rush home from work to spend as much time with him as I possible can. Between 4 and half 7 all my attention goes to him (we play, go out and do things, have a nap together is he hasn't slept well in nursery) and I love it. Same thing in the weekends!
Issue is, I can't seem to 'switch off' being a mum. I do all my household work after he's gone to bed cause I want to spend all my time with him. I'm absolutely knackered and he also still wakes at least twice a night. Because I'm back at work 5 days a week I don't want to go and do something without him because I don't see him during the day Monday-Friday.
Unfortunately working part time isn't an option but how do I get rid of this guilt and this feeling of being a horrible mum if I don't spend every moment he's awake with him?
Thanks!
