Working Mummies Support Group #2

Can I join the conversation please?
We started our own business this year. I am the jack of all trades in the business, with kind of no actual role description. The working and mumma roles seem to be at odds with each other, the children are required to be with me at work because there is no one else to care for them. Which makes the work part harder because the two roles get mixed up quite a lot, and it's hard to focus on one let alone both roles at the same time. Which makes job satisfaction hard because I know I can't give 100%.
I always knew this was going to be hard, but it's the emotional toll that I underestimated, dh and I only talk business or kids, the relationship is fading. Then the children are reaching out and playing up in order to get attention, which of course never ends well.

Hi Mummies!!!

I thought I'd pop in to say hi!

I am a working Mummy, doing shift work which definitely messes with my body clock, my attitude and my parenting sometimes.

It's hard to let someone else help raise your kids, but I do love my job at least.


Looking forward to getting to know you all!!!
