Tell me it gets easier

First day back after 16 months absolutely amazing maternity leave.

My DS is in nursery 3 days a week.

He's a bit miserable, I'm a lot miserable - does it get better? I'd love to stay home but I have a good job/career and we can't afford for me to really. Working part time will be great but even 3 days apart from him feels too much.

He's exhausted and unhappy this evening after only napping for 40 mins all day at nursery. I so just wanted to see him and he's cried since I picked him up.

I am just so unhappy and pray this gets easier. Hardest thing I have ever done.

It definitely will get easier, in fact long term I think you’ll find that the benefits or returning to work far outweigh the negatives.

Thanks @BettyForgety - I'm hoping I settle in. My boss is being great but I have a senior role and can feel the stress instantly returning after just one day. Being off work with my baby has been utter bliss. Wish it could last forever!
