I returned to work when my daughter was just 8 months old, and deep down, I knew I wasn't quite ready. But what I couldn't say at that moment was that I'm actually a better parent because I work. AdvertisementKatie Alexander went back to work when she got an opportunity she couldn't pass up. She went on to say how important the first years of a child's life are, adding that she wouldn't feel right going back to work and leaving her child. My partner and I both work full-time, and we have to so we can pay our bills.
