When does being a working mom get easier? I’ve been working for almost a year and it’s still very hard on me, emotionally.
That’s exactly what I was thinking about doing. Keep me posted with how that works for you. I would love to work part time and still get time with my family while still contributing and keeping my sanity.
I was a working mom for 2.5 years and it never got easier. It’s way too stressful! So much to juggle and you’re stretched way too thin. Plus not seeing your child as much as you could is really hard. You just have to keep reminding yourself that you’re doing your best. Hang in there.
It still hasn’t gotten easier for me. I feel like I miss so much of my daughter’s life 😢 I just have to remind myself that I do it for her so that my husband and I can provide for her. I’m actually looking for a less demanding job so that I can spend more time with her.
Idk but what makes it hard for me when I'm not working is knowing that I could be giving my everything he's ever wanted but I can't afford it.
I have a note on my desk at work, that says
“If you ever want to give up or quit, just remember who you are doing it for” helps me get through the long 8 hour work days.
@tiredmama0917, I feel the same way, and it’s like I miss so much of him while I’m at work and then I come home too tired to spend quality time with him. I’m actually thinking of finding a part time job after I go on maternity leave, which won’t be till like May 🙄 I feel like part time will give me enough time away from the kids to keep my sanity and more time with them.
