Hope SaraThere are staff/colleagues at the #UniversityOfLeeds who make being a #workingmum a breeze, and then there are others who don't. Shout out to the academic community who has supported and encouraged me since my return to work. As for the rest of you... My tribe is better than yours. ✊ #momademia #AcademicChatter #academicmastodon #academicmom #phdparent #pgrparent
Dropping L off at nursery this morning was horrific. She cried and ran back towards me and had to be scooped up by a member of staff. My heart cracked. I felt like a failure and that I was failing her. We turned the corner and looked through the window and she was already happy and smiling and distracted by the other kiddos and the prospect of breakfast. I know she’s fine. I know she’s better than fine and is enjoying herself and loving nursery. But the drop offs hurt so much and leave me feeling drowned in guilt.
