A Mile In One Another's Shoes

Day 1 back at work wasn't too bad. Day 2, however, is permeated with the distinct feeling of burning the candle at both ends. How do people do this? Deal with a baby's overnight fussing, then do a ten-hour (including commute) workday? Wonderful Husband took care of Squiddle yesterday, and says he now has increased respect for me doing it. The feeling, now that I know what baby + workday is like, is mutual!

With chronic sleep deprivation, tbh. I just got to the point where I'd call in on random days, because I was too tired to drive without killing someone accidentally, and I'd sleep with the baby all day.

*hugs* Good luck. You will make it through, it's just going to be a blur when you look back on it in a few years.

I have no idea how you do it. Canada has paid maternity leave. It's not at your full pay but it's better than nothing and you can stay with baby.
