For Career Oriented Moms

I found it hard to go back, but on the weeks the baby was sleeping well and I got enough rest, it did feel good to go back. I am exhausted and wish I could switch to part time work. When I discussed this with the HR director, she was pretty rude to me, even though I was on bed rest for 14 weeks and even after 12 weeks maternity leave, I was not quite back in shape & my work requires some very physical work outdoors. I hope as a HR manager, you'll be more understanding of new moms! Right now my sister lives with us, since she recently got her master's degree and hasn't found a job yet. When she leaves, I'm not looking forward to sending my baby to a day care center, though there are some good ones out there. Even the people I know whose kids go to really fun educational centers with nice teachers and low kid to adult ratios, well, their kids are always getting sick. I'd prefer a sitter for a really young kid, but day care or preschool when they get to be 2 or 3 so that they can get used to what it will be like to go to school. Good luck.
