I'm in this boat. Have just started back at work after my second mat leave, I've got DD who is 2.5 and DD who is almost 1.

Returning to work this time was harder... First time round wasn't too bad as I was already pg so I had an end date when I went back

I'm still not convinced about being back... I don't want to be there, I don't know what I'm doing with my career...

Tips from what I've learned so far...

- be organized. Do meal plans, get things ready at night for the next day, get up half an hour before the kids so you can get yourself ready without being stressed or distracted.

- online shopping. Get over the delivery cost (I had to...!) and just do it. So much easier.

- try and do a little bit of housework each night after the kids are down. Just a little bit and it'll make it easier.
