Maureen. Please dont give in. He is just being a Jerk and he more than likely is aiming to make you so uncomfortable that you'll just leave.
You deserve the promotion!

Hello gals!

I've been waiting for the thread to heat up again!

Kylie is 4 and a half months a quite a little munchkin now. Im back at work for 3 weeks and absolutely pooped by 3.30. Tried to have robin at home looking after the girls but he lasted a week - haha. So we now have a nanny, which means Im broke all the time, but she deals pretty well with the girls. And it was a good decision.
Kylie has not taken to the bottle at all - even tho we've been trying for months. So in despiration I started her on solids. She has her meals during the day plus water. She hates formula (tried different) and she hates the bottle teat too! We'll however keep trying!
So of course this means a feeding fest from the time I get home till the time I leave for work the next day.
And our little rolly polly loves attention and will talk to anyone that passes by!
As you can imagine I love my weekends! Nothing is better than spending some R&R with the little ones!

Maureen,

Don't leave, you will sort this out. You have always worked towards this promotion and you got it and you absolutely deserve it.
I think that by going to your new manager, it is the right thing to do.
Hang in there Maureen, the old manager just needs a talking to and it will all come right.

Morning Ladies,

Sal - believe me it gets better. I have been back for over 2 months and in the begining it is bad but you and baby will get used to it. It is a horrible thing to say "get used to it" but what other choice is there really?

So ladies I am in a situation that I don't really know what to do with:
I got a promotion while being on maternity leave. This is something that I was really working hard for and wanted since I started. But the problem is that I am now on equal level as my previous manager and he isn't taking it that well. He talks behind my back to other people, and these people tell me things as they don't really like him that much. He is also making it very difficult for me to do my job. I am going to my new manager this morning to have a word. As I am really unhappy. But my old manager brought this on himself, he never did the work, I did and he got the credit.

I am at a point where I just want to take my things and leave! I really wished that this would work out but I don't think it will. So on the one hand I feel I have to look for a new job but then on the other hand I don't understand why I have to, he is the idiot and the one that feels sorry for himself. But I am the one getting all the stuff done, and then the stuff that he did while I was on maternity leave, that was wrong, comes back to bite me...and all he does is say "well you are the project account now and that is your work". He pushes everything onto me and it feels like I am spinning out of control!

What must I do? I really am struggling here...I need a life-line...

Howdy! I've been back at work for 3 weeks now and am still hating it I feel so jealous of our nanny who gets to see him smile and laugh all day.

Shane is 4.5 months now and is just over 9kg's, he's a real back breaker! No solids for him yet I'm planning on keeping it that way till 6 months and then I would like to start that Baby-Led weaning. I've been reading up on it on the other forum.
He is sitting for short periods on his own, looks like a little budda. He's still dribbling loads but no sign of teeth yet.

Hi Ladies,

Nelria - I have been trying to update and so on, but we get chatting and then it starts to die down again.

I have been back at work for 2 months now. Miss having Jamie with me but also thankful I work. Spent the whole weekend in doors as he still has a bad cough and with the wind blowing didn't really want to take him out. And 2 days of nothing else, I am happy to be back at work.

Jamie is going to the sister for a check up on Wednesday, so will let you know the measurements.

Glad the exam went well last week.
