I don’t wanna go back to work 😫

I’ve been off work since June 24 and I’m so sad to go back on Jan 6.

I actually like my job and I’m very good at it. My husband is a stay at home dad and he’s also really really good at that. Or family arrangement works for us and I don’t necessarily wanna change anything.

But my daughter is 6 months and it’s been such a beautiful holiday season. I love being there for all the mundane-magical moments of her life. I love being around her enough to take a little self-care time, like going to the gym or sleeping in.

Tonight we’re gonna go to a small get together with friends and I’m really going to try to soak in the memories… only 36 more hours.

... Read moreReturning to work after a holiday can be a difficult transition for many, especially when you've cherished moments with family. It’s essential to acknowledge these emotions and find ways to ease back into the routine. Consider adopting strategies to maintain a work-life balance, such as setting clear boundaries between work hours and family time. Engaging in self-care activities can also help alleviate some of the stress associated with returning to work. Remember to cherish those little magical moments with your baby, as they contribute to overall emotional health. Connecting with friends, reflecting on memories, and discussing feelings about the transition can also provide support. Utilize online communities, such as parenting forums and support groups, to share experiences and gain advice. Ultimately, embracing a positive mindset about work and family can enhance your overall well-being. Recognizing the importance of mental health during this period is crucial. If feelings of anxiety or sadness persist, consider seeking support from mental health professionals. They can provide tools and strategies to navigate the stress of returning to work while maximizing family moments. Also, explore flexible work arrangements if possible, to find a balance that works for your family's needs.

I’m so sorry 😞 my husbands a stay at home dad too, they’re so lucky! I had 3.5 months but I do work remote so I guess it’s not the same. What I can say as a wfh mom, as they get older I do wish I had a break 😂 wfh means I’m working or taking care of toddlers all day! You’ll be able to have your breaks to yourself!❤️
