Hi all, I've recently returned to work after being on mat leave for 9 months and I'm really struggling with dividing myself between work me and mum me. Is this normal? The old me really loved my job - even if I moaned a little about always feeling swamped - but now I'm a mum a really couldn't care less about it. In my eyes my only priority is my son. I want to throw myself into motherhood wholeheartedly and I feel really cheated that I can't be with my boy (I can't stay at home because of finances). He's really struggled going to nursery and drop off has been horrendous, ending with us both in tears. All I want is to scoop him up and run away so he doesn't have to cry when he needs me. Now I'm back at work I feel pulled in so many different directions, that I don't think I'm able to cope. 4 days of the week I'm mum, 3 days of the week I'm a coworker and I just feel I'm not able to give either "job" my full. I feel guilty when I'm at work for leaving my baby and then when I leave early to pick him up or skip certain duties to breastfeed him during my lunch break, I feel guilty because I don't feel present at work. I guess I'm just trying to figure out if these are normal feelings and if anyone has any advice for dealing with it because it is. So. Hard. Thanks in advance...
