I'll try and make this as concise as possible...
I'm a primary school teacher and have been for 12 years. My son was born in 2018 and I went back to one day a week in school after having him and did private tutoring. Then left the school in 2020. I then became pregnant with my daughter not long after and because of covid risks at the time, decided to stay out of the classroom.
My dd is now 9 months old and I've just started a new role teaching two days a week. Started today. It is only a temporary contract but I feel like I've made a mistake getting into this. I'm so exhausted after just one day of teaching plus coming home to my little ones. I've been crying in bed as I'm just so emotional from the exhaustion. I'm thinking that I shouldn't have done this. It's just going to impact on my family life too much. Feeling a bit rubbish tonight. Maybe teaching isn't for me whilst my children are so little.
