I have been a sahm mum and only recently started going back to work. And having been away from work for merely 1.5 years, I find it extremely hard to catchup. My peers have all received a promotion and drawing higher salary while I start all over from the bottom. I have to work double hard to prove myself, and despite my experience, I am also competing with other younger colleagues who are single and no commitment, no children.
I am constantly tired from work, and when I come home I am too tired to spend time with my kids. I missed out on their school field trips or PTM due to work commitments. And I find that if I take too much time from work, my colleagues will talk behind my back or my boss thinks I can't keep up. The projects that have been handed to me are also tougher. My hours are long and I don't have much time for hubby also.
Recently the maid that I have trained and I though was finally more settled with my kids so I can focus at work, decided that she wants to go home because of family reasons!
I am so tired.
I find that working hard alone is not good enough. Being too nice to others is not good also. Trying your best is not enough as well. Sometimes all of us just need a bit of help or some luck.
I am not a superstitious person but any help I can get to improve my situation I will try.
Any advise.
