5 months and at the time it didn’t feel long enough. The transition back to work is always going to be hard no matter when it happens. But we got into a new rhythm and now I don’t think I could ever be a stay at home mom. Being a creative director is way easier
5 months and it wasn’t enough. He depended on me for everything. He was waking in the middle of the night multiple times to feed. My body was still not my own. I like working and focusing on something other than parenting. But physiologically, 5 months was too early.
1 year and no, it wasn’t enough. But also, nothing was going to be enough…leaving my baby girl to go back to work was heart wrenching, but I remind myself that I’m setting a good example for her. That said, wfh has made things much better as we get more time together.
I’m in the U.K. where we have a legal right to 1 year (although the pay is very low, so we used savings to finance it).
13 weeks and it was enough, but my husband was a stay at home dad so it made the transition way way easier!!
5 months. With my first it wasn’t enough and I went back part time for a year before returning to full time. With my second, I felt better about going back full time but I was also working from home more than I was with my first so it kind of balanced.
And since my second was 16 months old
I’ve been home permanently. For me the hardest part was the guilt of them not seeing me, so that’s definitely alleviated. My stress level is not alleviated, however. 😁
4 months and it was and wasn’t enough. Part of me was glad to be back and get some me time. The other wanted more time.
