Starfish, I agree with Wysiwyg, they may simply be assuming you want less responsibility now. I know when I returned to work in October last year, I certainly didn't want to work at the same level that I had before maternity leave. My priorities had simply changed.
You could chat with someone about it or come at it from a lighthearted angle...
Jokingly say " come on folks my brain needs a good work out after all the goo goo ga ga talk I've been up to at home! Bring it on!"
The main problem I think is that there is no one that I can talk to. My manager was always super useless, but at least he let me get on with things. When I came back from leave, there had been a restructure. Now my manager refuses that talk to me directly and I have to go through someone else. The problem is that he doesn't talk to her either, so anything that I tell her goes into a black hole. And the fact that I don't get on with this woman at all doesn't help...
Today is the first day that DH is not bringing DS in to me for a feed. Feeling blah...
Huh? Your manager won't speak directly to you? How bizarre. If you're not getting any joy with this woman I'd go further up the chain, regardless of whether he "feels the need" to speak to you or not, you obviously need to!
