I want to go back to work...I feel the same way Ang. I want to go back to work part time just to have that extra adult thing to do. I loved starting my blog and making bigger then what it was before. It's made me make more new friends like you. For now that will have to do it's a full time job kinda.

I am 6 months into maternity leave but am feeling the pressure already to have the answers. Thanks for sharing, I am interested in seeing where you end up.Lisahttp://www.mummymanifesto.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5590866815382723753.post-6771700376896578642012-11-11T01:15:51.460-08:002012-11-11T01:15:51.460-08:00I can completely relate to how you are feeling rig...I can completely relate to how you are feeling right now. Its near impossible for me to go back to my career in stockbroking even if I wanted to. I have to re-skill but am finding that difficult to manage. <br />I think you should get some satisfaction about how well your blog is going. The idea of starting up a small business in conjunction with the blog sounds like a good one to me. Its something you can start up gradually and do along side some casual teaching. <br />I wish you all the very best of luck with whatever direction you take.Mumabuloushttp://mum-abulous.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5590866815382723753.post-54625372905458476522012-11-10T19:41:28.105-08:002012-11-10T19:41:28.105-08:00I think we all go through this.

I'm now doing it for the second time....<br />After having my first I was eager to do some work (teaching or otherwise) and was really lucky to get a sessional contract at the university, working no more than 4 hours a day 3 days a week (so only missed one feed each time which I expressed in between classes). I was also able to leave my daughter with my mother in law, who lived just behind the university. <br />I now have a 3.5 month old son as well and I'm keen again to do something stimulating. <br />I have recently been making little designs with buttons on clothes for my kids (which have attracted great comments) so I'm thinking I'll try to sell some through Facebook...seems many sahm/wahms do this now.<br />Next year I'll probably return to the university where I get to teach our future teachers :)<br />Melissanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5590866815382723753.post-37971963924844021122012-11-10T12:44:38.079-08:002012-11-10T12:44:38.079-08:00It is really hard!

I've considered a little bit of study too, but I think an income might need to come first for us! I hope you find what you're looking for too! :-) School of Mumhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01417513168094076688noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5590866815382723753.post-23363545792477694182012-11-10T03:55:32.969-08:002012-11-10T03:55:32.969-08:00Your words echo my own!!

And I'm trying to reinvent myself.<br /><br />It's so incredibly hard!!! Especially because it's not just our career direction - but who will care for my child? How will it affect time with my family? Will it affect the relationship with my husband? ... All after our whole world that has already been (delightfully) upturned with the arrival of our children!! <br /><br />I researched childcare in our area to find I would need to work more than 20 hr/wk at more than $22p/h just to afford childcare AND pay for petrol in the car. Having no family in town, I have no free babysitters - so I'm heading back to uni part time while my husband finishes his degree and works part-time... At least it will keep my brain stimulated!!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
