Yesterday was my first day of work following maternity leave. As always, I didn't have any problems leaving the baby at daycare. My problems were that it takes a lot longer to get everyone ready in the morning and get their bag packed. In the evening it is chaos in the house. I think that once we get in a routine, things will improve but until then I guess I will just have to feel overwhelmed.
I can completely see why people go to part-time once they have kids. I would still need to work because I really appreciate being with adults and being challenged, but to work a few hours less a day would be great. I may change my tune once we get in a routine, but I know that it would be great to be home early enough to have dinner ready by 6:00-6:30 instead of 7:00-7:30. When I was on maternity leave we would eat 6:00-6:30 and leave dinner dishes sit so that we could go outside, or do just anything else, and then I would do the dinner dishes the next morning. I don't see me going to part-time anytime soon with the job I currently have, but it is nice to dream.
