I'm due back to work in 2 weeks after being on maternity 14months and I'm going to find it so hard but I'm going back part time so I can spend as much time with my little girl as I can x
I definitely feel blessed to be able to stay home
Iām a working mum and I find this post a little patronising, rude and insulting. Some mums choose to go back to work - donāt feel bad for them. Some mums have to go back to work for what ever reason (myself) but I will say it works just fine. My child is thriving in an environment that I couldnāt offer her myself if I was a stay at home mum. The time we do spend together is pure quality, we sit and play together all day. Then there is the flip to this, that I go to work so have adult time, conversation and get to have some self identity and opportunity to remember myself before I was a mum. I would never dream of saying āI feel sooo bad for mums that stay at homeā because itās all personal to each person/family/parent. If youāre a working mum, amazing. If you are stay at home mum, amazing also!
@Jess If it donāt apply let it fly
Some women worked hard for their career so they chose to go back to work. I wouldn't feel bad when it's a choice, if it is a necessity then and they aren't happy this way then I understand that can be upsetting. X
I feel like in somewhat in the middle a part-time working mum of 2 and have been for the past 11 years. I have 2 sons aged 18 and 1 and most of the childcare is by my parents or his father
Iām a SAHM and I agree with @Jess this post is a little patronizing. I would only feel bad for a working mom if she wanted to be a SAHM but didnāt have a choice due to finances. But lots of moms work part or full time and crush it in both their career and motherhood!
