Back to work

[hels]

Hi!
Well m gutted, we can no longer afford for me to be off on maternity, so tommorrow i am going back to work 2 days per week. Simon will be at home with Charlie, so he's excited!
I am really dreading it, and cant stand the thought of not being there to comfort her when she cries, but its essential i go back, as mine was the main wage. Atleast Charlie gets to spend time wth daddy.
I will be expressing milk at work, and ill still feed her when im at home. She cant have formula it makes her sick, so i hope my milk stays and we have no probs.

me my mum and my aunt work in a care home, my mum a nurse/ manager/ my aunt carer/ me a carer /domestic, someone we work with had twins 2 months before i had B and she was back to work a week after i had B couldnt afford not to go back as her OH is disabled

Simon had a great day with Charlotte, and i came home to an immaculate home. bless them, guess it was only me that was upset.......im not needed!!!!!!!!!

I bet your OH was sweating all day without you there (not that any man would admit they couldn't manage!!)
I bet Charlotte missed you loads too.
