A young mother can leave maternity leave to work without waiting for the baby to be three years old. But even in this short time, a lot could have changed in your company. Therefore, be prepared for change and set yourself up mentally for a change of scenery.
Instructions
Step 1
Of course, there is a category of mothers who do not want to stay at home for a long time. As soon as the baby has grown up a little, they try to find a nursery, a nanny or a grandmother for him. Conversely, some women feel quite comfortable in the role of housewives, believing that this is how they fully realize themselves. There is nothing wrong in either the first or the second case, it is just that everyone sees themselves in life in their own way.
Step 2
If going to work is inevitable, then make sure everyone goes through it. You are not the first or the last to return to work after a long break. Before going to work, read special literature, refresh your knowledge by attending a course of lectures or trainings.
Step 3
Many women fear that, being busy at work, they will not be able to keep up with household chores. Of course, very little time is left for this. Therefore, attract your husband, mother or mother-in-law to them. If possible, hire a housekeeper, at least for a couple of days a week. Then you can devote the weekend to your husband and children, as well as your own vacation.
Step 4
If you have no desire to return to your previous place of work, think, maybe this is for the best. After all, vacation is a time when you can find strength in yourself for new activities and achievements. Perhaps you dreamed of doing something, but there was not enough time for it. While you are on maternity leave, there is an opportunity to complete courses, improve your qualifications or get a second education.
Step 5
Many mothers, when they go to work, feel guilty about spending little time on their children. Do not panic and do not be upset, in this case, the main thing is not quantity, but quality. The child is not important how much time you spend with him, but how. Therefore, take half an hour to listen to the baby, read a fairy tale to him, ask about the past day. Hug and kiss your child more often, say that you still love him.
Step 6
Usually the process of getting used to a new rhythm of life takes 2-3 months. Therefore, setting yourself up, think that everything will work out. Prepare in advance for going to work, then you will join it without any problems.
