I have been back at work for a month since finishing my second (and last) maternity leave. I've been at the company for years and have a part time position. I didn't want to return to my old job as I felt like I needed a new challenge and I didn't enjoy working for my new manager. Luckily I secured a new part time role and promotion and was really looking forward to it.
A month in and I'm not enjoying it so much. I don't know what to do - the rational part of my brain says it's too early to make a decision but I'm worried I've made a mistake moving roles and I'm not sure if I should stick it out or not (I've never "given up" on a role before). I'm not sure if this is just some combination of returning to work blues and the reality that my days off looking after babies are over. (I could quit and be a SAHM but I don't think it's right for me or my kids right now).
I guess I'm posting here for some sensible advice or experience or things getting better!
