[quote=Anonymous]It is so hard, OP. I was dreading going back to work and would have quit in a nanosecond if I could have, but I can honestly say now that I am happy to have my career. My husband and my mother took care of my baby for the first couple of weeks back, and I went back part-time for the first month. If these are not possibilities, I think any combination of shortening your work day, your wife's work day, or your baby's day will help. Can you take one day a week off for a month? Can your wife? Or leave early? Do you have any local family? Can you shift hours so that baby is in day care for a shorter length of time? Just temporarily. It's so hard. Lots of cuddles and quality time in evenings and weekends. Remind your wife that by working, she is providing for her baby financially as well as providing an independent female figure for that baby.
