Back to office after paternity leave and I'm already regretting it
So I took 8 weeks of paternity leave and it was amazing. Now I'm back in the office 3 days a week and honestly the transition is killing me. My son is 10 weeks old and I feel like I'm missing everything. The worst part is my boss keeps scheduling meetings during times I usually pump for my wife. Anyone else dealing with this? How did you navigate going back after bonding time?
Can you push for 4 days at home instead? A lot of places are doing hybrid schedules now. The commute alone probably costs you 10 hours a week you could be spending with the kids.
