I'm feeling emotional these few days cos I'll be returning to work next week after my maternity and no pay leave. Hubby said it will be tight on family financial if I continue to go on no pay leave .. So it is even more impossible for me to quit my job to be a SAHM . We are sending our Lo to infant care .. N I'm already feeling the separation anxiety :( I wish to take care of my baby by myself too but hubby thinks it is too tight financially . We also have another elder child (5 years old), so many mouths to feed .. Sigh.. Been feeling depressed too .. Anybody in similar situation as me ? How can I feel better ? :(

I sent my LO to IFC after my 16 weeks of maternity leave. On a brighter side, I felt that my LO can have more activities & more opportunity to learn compared to staying at home. I can also take a tiny break from both work and LO by occasionally taking leave from work & sending LO to IFC. Mummy deserves some me time too :) Cheer up! Spend quality time with your LO since we can't afford to have quantity time :)
