As it sounds! Just a bit of hand-holding required :'(
DS is 6mo and we're on day 3 of his settling-in week at nursery. I love the nursery and when I did my hour there with him on Monday the other babies were clearly happy and having a lot of fun (although crawling/walking so a bit older) - so I know that he'll be fine once he's settled in. It's just that I'm going back to work full time and this is the "beginning of the end" really.
Yesterday he did an hour on his own and I went to a cafe nearby. It was a bit more like I had a little break, so had a lovely posh breakfast (with both hands) and read some magazines (without someone trying to rip the pages out for me...). Today, however, was a completely different story. He did two hours by himself so I had more time to sit and ponder, and ponder I did. Tomorrow is 4 hours and then Friday is a full day - and then it's full days from then on in, which is the bit I can't get over. So of course I just sat in the cafe for 2 hours trying not to cry (failed).
Of course I knew in theory that he would be in nursery every day and I would be at work, but now it's almost a reality it's bloody heartbreaking!
To make it worse, I did a KIT day on Monday and discovered that the situation at work is exactly the same as I left (very bad staff morale etc). I'd hoped that it would have improved, or that perhaps there would be a different role available for me, but neither is the case. It's quite depressing.
Changing jobs not really an option - it's very well paid for the market (I'm the breadwinner), they've granted my flex hours and it couldn't be more convenient for nursery/getting home.
Already working out when I can reasonably start trying for DC2!!
Anyone else putting a tiny one in nursery to return to a job they're utterly fed up of?
