looks like I'm going back to work
I got a call from my our office manager today begging me to come back to work 2-3 days/ week. It looks like they've already gone through 2 employees who were covering my Mat leave for me. Since DH hasn't found work yet, he'll be able to stay on EI and be at home with Lexi while I work. This will help out with the finances until I go back to my regular hours in January.
In a way, I'm excited about going back to work b/c I miss my co workers but I'm also having guilty feelings about leaving Lexi while she's still so young(especially since she is such a mommy's girl) :-( .
Re: looks like I'm going back to work
It's great but not so great at the same time. I can see why you'd be having mixed emotions.
I'm happy for you that it will improve the financial situation! Plus think of how great it will be for your DH to have that time with Lexi, too. Those are two big positives!
Going back early must be such a mixed emotions kind of event. At least it's only PT so you can still get some good time with Lexi and so will your hubs!
Of course it would be hard! But in the end it helps your family with the extra $ and you're not spending all your time away from her, KWIM?
It's a bitter-sweet situation...[HUGS}
Adding to the others, my aunt had her first before one year maternity leaves. Her husband is a paramedic so with his shifts he usually at home during the day with their daughter. Those two are SO close, even now that she's 15. It really helped them bond.
Seeing them makes me think more men should take at least a couple of months of paternity when the child is older.
Might not help you miss her less but hopefully it will help you feel less guilty.
