What tips and tricks do you have for returning to work after mat leave? I feel like I can't imagine what it'll be like till I do it, and suspect it will be a shock to the system, so may I please have your words of wisdom to help make it as smooth a return as possible?
DS will be going to a childminder locally. It'll be a phased return using up my annual leave, working 3 days then eventually back to full 5 days. To start, I'll work in the office 45 mins away 1 day a week and wfh 5 mins away the other 2.
If relevant, DP works 5 days a week, 2 in the office also 45 mins away and 3 wfh. We share all responsibilities for childcare, housework, flexing work and life admin etc. equally.
