Struggling adjusting

[purpleme12]

Been back at work 2 weeks, 2 long days. Am struggling to adjust. I was so happy on maternity leave I had what I always wanted and felt almost carefree (even though it wasn't like that) and free because no work trying me down. Now I feel like it's all changed. I don't feel free and carefree anymore. I'm just having a hard time adjusting. I had a rhythm and now it's gone. I worry sicj about her at nursery. It hurts.

I love being a mummy

Sorry you're having a hard time being back

I've just done my 3rd week (I'm full time - not sure from your post whether you are?).

I found the first two weeks pretty hard going just trying to get into the routine and get back into things at work.

This week has been much easier though so it will hopefully get better for you too.

Is your dd settled at nursery? My ds is which does make things easier. Do they tell you what they've done each day? Ours does which I find nice as I know they do loads of activities - ask if yours doesn't so you know that your dd has had fun there.

Not much advice sorry but hang in there - it takes time to adjust. I miss my ds loads when I'm working but just try to focus on the fact that I'm working to help provide for him x

Thank you. I'm working part time. I think she does like it at nursery. They do put in her book what she's been up to which I like. You give me hope maybe you're right and it'll get better after this I really hope so xx
