Honestly, I have a 4 and 7 year old and still don’t feel totally back in my previous groove. But others see me as high performing, so I don’t sweat it too much.

Thank you for posting this. I thought I was alone feeling like I’ve lost my groove. Fearing I’ll be canned

Ditto! I’ve been back a month and feel like I’m doing horribly and also just don’t care and am not motivated 🤷🏻‍♀️

@D2. I’m back just shy of a year and still feel the same way. I keep thinking how I would love to take a PT gig and spend as much time with my girl as I can while she’s little and loves cuddling!

I have been back for 3mos...still not back to normal yet. I figure 6mos would be a good target.

My gf and I are having a big discussion and I would love to get your thoughts on this. It’s about how much we keep in touch and communicate when I’m on the road. She needs to hear from me everyday multiple times and if I don’t answer her texts within a few hours, she can get quite controlling (text over and over again, also on my work phone, asks what I am doing and gets upset). I am not used to that and have the trust if she doesn’t text back, that it’s for good reasons, busy at work…. (Ctd)
