"Its normal to miss your family, but working is the only way you will be able to give your kids what they need, let that be your motivation to work."
What is one piece of advice you wish you could offer your former expectant self?
Its normal to miss your family, but working is the only way you will be able to give your kids what they need, let that be your motivation to work.
How much leave did you take, and how comfortable were you taking it?
I took off 3 months. We quickly ran out of money and I’m now in debt. Looking back, I definitely wish I would have gone back after 6 weeks.
How easy was it to put a childcare arrangement together and did it work for your family?
My significant other stays home with the kids. It was too hard for me to let my kids go to daycare knowing how dirty the daycare that I went to was. I guess you can say it’s almost a fear.
What was your biggest challenge going back to work?
My biggest challenge was, and still is, leaving my kids everyday, but I know in the long run, they appreciate everything I do for them
