Returning to work early next month pretty much fuly time (4.5 days with leave) but due to where my job is based and the commute I have, I have to leave before LO wakes in the morning and will see them for maybe 2/3 when I get in from work depending on when they go to bed. Going from spending all day every day with them to three hours max a day seems horrifying to me. Please can any other working parents make me feel better about my self or more positive about the situation 😩 on the few test runs we have done LO has had a lovely day with care givers, and has then clung onto me a bit more than usual in the evening as to be expected but otherwise seems unaffected.
To add, there is no way to change circumstances it is what it is, looking for a hand hold 😅
