Any moms in the design industry? How do you cope working full time? I've been having thoughts of going back to work but sometimes the hours are really long. Baby is 10 months. I enjoy the time together but i'm burdened by school loans and such. I do freelance but sometimes its not enough. I miss being financially independent

Hi there, I'm not from the design industry but I do work long weird hours and at times, shifts. I've observed my colleagues that are parents and while they do get flustered at times, they seem to integrate parenthood and work quite well. Where I work, the child care leave etc are very well structured and my bosses always give priority to those who have families. If you do go back, I hope you get bosses who are kind and work at a company that is family friendly.
