Hi, all, I wanted to get your thoughts. My parental leave is almost over and I’m getting anxious about starting work again. Mainly because 1) I am worried about leaving my SO—who is full time WFH—with the baby for a couple days while I’m at the office during the day and 2) being able to balance caring for the baby while I/we WFH.
I’m heavily involved in two big projects that i know they want me to lead when I get back. I feel bad for wanting to put in my notice after getting back from leave but I’ve put in several years of work and I feel like I’ve done my time.
We’re not ready for sending the baby to day care and the prices are +$2,000/month. Thus, if I quit, I get to be the say at home parent!
With this situation, when would y’all put in your notice? If you’ve had a similar situation, what did you do?
