I've started back at work this week as a primary teacher and couldn't be hating it any more 
Before lockdown I wasnt enjoying work and considering my options but was trying for a second child so didn't want to move jobs and lose maternity benefits. But then lockdown happened!
Been saying to myself all summer that the thought of going back will be worse than actually going back but now I'm not so sure... Training days were bad enough last week but I've found the last two days with the children awful - I'm struggling to even pretend to be enthusiastic! I know my situation isn't helped by Covid and nor by the fact that we've not been successful with trying for our second child (over a year now) but I just don't know what to do.
Sorry for the essay - turned into a bit of a brain dump! I guess I'm asking what I should be doing next - I know I've got to stick it out for the foreseeable but then what? Careers for ex-teachers seem hard to come by without taking a big pay cut or big loss of job security!
