I am really struggling after returning from maternity leave earlier this month.
Despite being told by partners that it was okay to ramp up and not get staffed on matters too quickly, I’ve been billing 10+ hour days and still having to say no to work.
I miss my baby. My husband is getting saddled with all the baby duties and I feel bad.
Does anyone have any advice on how to make this better or can anyone in a similar situation talk? I really like the work I do, and obviously others have kids so how are they doing it?
I have a nanny and am trying to block off time in the evenings to spend with my son, but all these urgent matters seem to make it impossible to have that boundary respected. I just feel lost and sad.
