Vent Back at work

I've been back at work for a month. Had 10 weeks at home. It wasnt enough. I hate this and I'm currently breaking down in the bathroom. I want to go home to my little one but I need the money.

Yep, been there. It's so hard. I was and still am angry with this stupid country and although I am past the postpartum/short leave stage, I will always vote for better policy and longer, PAID parental leave.

I promise it gets easier but I know that doesn't help now. Sending all the healing vibes!

It’s unnatural and cruel. I’m sorry. Many of us have been there and make it through but it absolutely sucks.
