How did you do it? How did you go back to work without becoming and emotional wreck? I’m three weeks away from returning to my old job and I’ve been crying every day for a week already. Advice?
Wow … All I can say is that you always need to remember that you are a person too and you need to keep living your life. That does NOT mean that being with her 24/7 is less but if you are fulfilled and engaged in other things you can give her more. I say take little trips. If you usually leave her when you go shopping, make it last a little longer. If you never leave her, then do so. Make it a little longer, 5 – 10 minutes, each time. It will get easier but then again, some of us are meant to stay at home and some of us are meant to be at work. That is what makes the world as it is. I, personally, was soooooo ready after 5 weeks to get back into MY routine. I just incorporated Keila into it very easy. It made my evenings much more fun and I knew she was being very VERY well taken care of by Gladys.
As always, just breathe and take it one day at a time.
Besos baby.
