I hate feeling like everything is getting short shrift.pseudostoopshttp://pseudostoops.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1153741448672020599.post-71985521378133400822011-10-20T06:22:08.796-05:002011-10-20T06:22:08.796-05:00Yikes, good luck!

I struggle with finding a balance all of the time too, but have a sneaking suspicion that going back to work after this maternity leave will be kind of nice. The kids both got shots yesterday (2 month and 2 year appointments at the same time) and the screaming made me want to jam a fork in my ear. <br /><br />I hope you find whatever balance works best for you and your family!Laura Diniwilkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12501205507709511056noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1153741448672020599.post-26079816844118186342011-10-14T20:05:20.520-05:002011-10-14T20:05:20.520-05:00Oh my friend, I hear you loud and clear.

Maternity leave was great for me and I hate being back at work. We need my income so I can't quit. My office is 45 minutes from my house so I spend a good 12 hours away from home by the end of the day. Half day Fridays help but not enough to give me the sanity to get through the whole week. Plus I am exhausted to boot. I just wish there was an easy solution to all of it. Like magically winning the lottery although I would never buy a ticket!Juliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01292703202237738422noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1153741448672020599.post-62402390067411966922011-10-10T12:39:07.696-05:002011-10-10T12:39:07.696-05:00What you are doing is hard.

Having that one day for myself each week with Anna off at school has been such a blessing for me. It's keeping me sane for realsies. Also cleaning service is a godsend. I don't know what I'd do. I don't really do any housework besides picking up. Good luck with your thoughts. I say what the hell - try quitting because then you will know. Maybe if you do it the right way your job would take you back if you wanted to come back later?Ericahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16000855909928637073noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1153741448672020599.post-78631265535021031522011-10-10T09:18:41.745-05:002011-10-10T09:18:41.745-05:00Ugh.

I won't go straight to PPD, because maybe you're right, but I'd keep monitoring it to make sure that these feelings don't get worse. <br /><br />What would be the chance of you getting your job back after 6 months or so? Would it be possible to talk it over with your employer? You might want to at least consider your options. <br /><br />And if not, maybe the cleaning service would be helpful. Because then at least when you're home you wouldn't have to worry so much about the cleaning and you could spend that time with the kids which would probably help a lot. Just a thought. <br /><br />Hugs, though. Because I totally get it.Mama Fusshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10243387320910386254noreply@blogger.com
