10 signs you’re a young mother returning to work

You are back in the office after maternity leave and you think you have erased all traces of your weeks of pampering with an appointment at the hairdresser, concealer and a nicetop ? Nothing is less sure ! Here are 10 situations that will betray you (and make your colleagues smile).

1. You are more punctual than ever!

Dropping a baby off at the nursery or nanny’s in the morning requires a lot of organization, so you can count on being large to avoid being late for work. So you’ve never been so early in the morning. And in the evening, same fight, you leave at 17:37 pm sharp, rain or shine.

2. There are weird things in your purse …

A pacifier, phy serum, a chewed blanket… When you open your bag, these odd objects come out. Normal, you have two lives and one container!

3. You eat compotes

For your dessert or your afternoon snack … You very often bring one to the office. It’s the most practical and balanced thing you will find in your fridge in the morning!

4. You smell the orange blossom

It is everywhere in your baby’s cosmetics: wipes, face milk, shower gels, so you don’t even notice it anymore. And so much the better, it’s soft and fresh at the same time!

5. You talk about the weather

It’s cool, it might rain, it’s really heavy… You can’t help but comment on the color of the sky. And for good reason, in your mind it means “Have I dressed my baby accordingly?” “

6. You have to go to the pharmacy

For Doliprane, a homeopathic cream, talc … Before arriving in the morning, at noon, during the break, leaving in the evening, going to the pharmacy becomes the mission which is added almost every day to all those of your profession.

7. Your wallpaper is no longer a paradisiacal landscape …

A laughing baby face! This is the most visible clue of your new status! At the same time, why deprive yourself of it? Ditto for your smartphone …

8. You pick up your phone on the first ring …

What if it was the nursery? Your husband who has a problem to get the little one back? You have to know everything very quickly to organize yourself.

9. You are calm in any situation …

A meeting that turns into a fist, a late order, an annoying remark, a computer that crashes: nothing damages your nerves, as long as no baby is crying.

10. You have a stain on your top …

Milk, cream, mash, compote … your blouse or t-shirt is regularly stained on the chest, shoulders or sleeves. And that requires you to inspect yourself in the bathroom mirror every morning. And to rub with a baby wipe lying around in your bag!
