"We never get to do kid free things, unless it's a trip to the emergency room for me, ha!"
What is one piece of advice you wish you could offer your former expectant self?
All the crap you thought you needed and spent so much money and time on you don’t need.
What was your primary motivation for deciding to return (or not) to work? How early did you tell your employer?
I just became a stay at home mom, but it’s no easy task!
FOR MOMS: If you breastfed, was there a place for you to pump that met your needs and was conducive to your success? If you breastfed, how did you decide to continue? FOR DADS: What, if any, adjustments did you (or your workplace) make to your schedule after having a baby? Was it specific to your manager or larger, whole work culture?
Pumping was fairly easy, just sooooo time consuming!
How easy was it to put a childcare arrangement together and did it work for your family?
I didn’t go back to work, but we really struggle with childcare. We never get to do kid free things, unless it’s a trip to the emergency room for me, ha!
