2020 is the year of change, the year no one will forget and some say the year which has been cancelled. I believe 2020 will be the year we realise who our real heroes are, and hopefully the year we all unite and try and overcome racism and discrimination. I read a quote on instagram which really made me think: 'there are decades where nothing happens; and there are weeks where decades happen.' I feel the past few months so much has happened and personally my mental health has been all over the place. From understanding and grasping motherhood, to living in a pandemic and now witnessing the world we live in where in the 21st century so many are experiencing hate, discrimination and unjust actions for being a certain way or looking a certain way.
The past few days have been tough to say the least and a teething baby does not not help to the pressure. Sometimes as mothers, we are expected to be superheroes and only if it was really that easy. I have been reading and seeing so many hurtful and inhumane stories, but hopefully change will come.
Zak is now almost 10 months old, and I have started to think about returning back to work- but the anxiety is hitting me hard. Firstly, being a key worker means I will be more exposed to the coronavirus than a normal person staying at home. My husband is also a key worker, therefore it is almost like double the exposure. Secondly childcare, my initial plan was to split Zak between, being with his grandma and enrolling him into a nursery- but at the moment although some nurseries are open, I personally do not feel comfortable dropping Zak off to one. And as per current guidelines Zak cannot go to his grandma's house without having social distancing- which is impossible for a 10 month old. So currently going back to work seems like it will have to wait a little longer but I guess that is the advantage of being self employed.
Hope you have had a better week.
As always, thank you for reading.
With Love,
