Back at work for four weeks so far and so down.....

[broguemum]

I'm freelance and normally work part time - no more than the equivalent of 2 days a week - so I have time for DD and DS. However, one of my clients has asked me to work practically full time for them for the next three months at my "old job" to help them out with a staff shortage. I stupidly agreed to do it. I thought that I had to keep a good relationship with the client. I'm there now. I'm hating it. I sat on the kitchen floor this morning and cried my eyes out at the thought of leaving DS at the creche for a full day and sending DD to the after school club instead of meeting her at the bus stop. I don't know if I can do it. I'm still breastfeeding so I have to express twice at the office. The office is full of 'orrible old men. There is no privacy. Am so

Please tell me it gets easier?

How can I get through the next three months until I can go back to my part time?

I think I need either a kick up the bum or a gentle hug and a cup of tea. Thank you....

Any way you can get out of it? And go back to what you were doing?? Give your client a good reasoned argument as to why it's not working out.

Alternatively - i guess just think it'll be over by the start of the summer hols. And go somewhere nice with the extra money.

Not much help but i didn't want your post to go unanswered.

Thanks for replying. I think I will have to say something to my client as I can´t do the full time at the moment. Even if I could do some of the work from home it would help. The day did get better though - Mondays are particularly bad.
