I will come to the next one, half term/school hols would be ideal for me! I'm sure you'll all have a great day anyway, x

    :kisses:thank you everyone :kisses: you are all so supportive and i knew i could count on you all xxxx

    hi everyone,

    sorry everyone was so kind and posted so many respones i couldn't multiquote them all (how do you all do more than 3?? -- in another window?)

    alot of the responses made me cry (but i wouldn't take much at the minute) and you are all so understanding. it was so hard for me to post what i was feeling but i knew it was the right place as everyone else is in the same boat as me.

    it's kind of hard to keep out of the politics (or at least it affecting me) due to my role and the company set up. i was such a workaholic before (and MFD will agree i think, she told me off on more than one occasion when pregnant for putting work first - she was right to do so of course).

    i just really need to focus on enjoying the night time i have with her bath/bed etc

  • AF, I know exactly how you feel. I am going back in 9 days full time and am dreading every second of it, but at the same time, know I need a life outside the home.
    I made a point of doing something purely for Jasmine on my day off, and will do the same again now with both of them. It could have been anything, like soft play, the park, go for an ice cream, or when she was a bit older, I have taken her for a manicure a few times :)
    It does get easier, but you will still have days when it gets bad again, you just have to tell yourself you are doing it for her !! and make the most of every minute you have at home, even if it means that your house isnt spotless or all the toys arent put away ! xx
