I returned to work 2 months ago when my DS was 6 months old.
I was dreading it, I hated the fact I had to leave him but now I can honestly say that I enjoy coming to work, as I see it as a bit of me time.
Plus DS is with my mum and he loves it, she loves it so I know everyone's happy!
It took me a long time to stop feeling guilty about enjoying being away from him but in the end I've come to realise as much as I love being a mum, I'm still me as well and needed to get a bit of me back.
In the beginning returning was purely financial but now I enjoy the financial side of having more money and also the adult interaction as well!
