Paternity leave was amazing but going back to work is brutal
I took 3 months of paternity leave when my daughter was born and it was incredible bonding time. Now that I'm back at the office full time I feel like I'm missing everything. She's already smiling more, staying awake longer, and I was gone for most of it this week due to a work conference. My boss is expecting me to be fully back in the game but my head is still at home. How did you guys adjust?
Man, I feel this in my soul. Those three months with my kids were the best and worst thing because now the contrast of being back at work is brutal. The first week back I was counting down minutes to 5pm.
