I am a brand new working Mum to a sibling group of three. They have been with us for four weeks. I am currently on maternity leave and have two weeks left. I have the option for six more weeks of FMLA which I think I will take advantage. We want the children to be somewhat bonded before I go back to work.
The hardest part is my own guilt, and then the guilt my mother lays on me about being a stay at home mum. I have explained multiple times that our finances dictate the need for me to continue work. I am fortunate in that I have the option of working from home also. Just needed to unload a bit I guess!
On top of that I am still struggling with going from a home for my husband and I (and our four-legged critters) to three active children. Some days I feel like I have it all together and then other days I wonder if I can do this at all. Is this normal?
