I have to go back to work after my leave is up once my baby is born. I wish I could stay home but it’s not going to be an option. I sometimes think I might get bored if I stayed home any way. Do you women somtimes wish you were back at work?

My wife’s the opposite. She’s back working and wishes she could stay home.

I do sometimes. Only because the extra money would be nice.

Understand 100%. I’ve been off of work for 2 months now. And I have 3 months of maternity leave. I could go back to work now !. But on the other hand I will miss my baby soooooooooooo much. Its the whole women thing you really can’t have it all. I love working and I want to be able to send my kid to college one day and let him to activities and have fun at camp and so forth. And if I don’t work then he wont get to do all that fun stuff later on in life. Its a decision that my husband and I made together.

I worked before having my two kids and now I have been a stay at home mom for 4 years and I love it. I will however go back to work once both of my kids are in school, but for the time being I am completely happy being at home with them.

My daughter is now 13 weeks. For the first few weeks I was glad to be home and then i went through the, I need adult contact, stage. But now, I love being home with her. I make sure we don’t stay home everyday all day. We take little trips and switch up our routine. The key is to stay busy.

I miss the people I worked with and my students…and my paycheck. I would not want to be there EVERY morning and have to be there all day, though. I also wouldn’t want to miss out on the time with my baby.

I have been home for 3 months now ( my daughter is 12 weeks old) and so wish to be back at work. However, I think many women are torn. It’s really a decision only an individual can make. I love my daughter, but I also enjoyed my job (teaching).
Unfortunately, my husband has been working long days lately, and often I feel like a single parent, trying to entertain the baby 12 hours a day on my own (in addition to those mid-night feedings). Those are the type of days that have me longing to be back at work. My daughter is beautiful, but tends to be fussy, especially in the evening. It was the time usually when my husband use to come home. Now, he doesn’t get home until after she’s asleep (and leaves in the morning before she gets up).

I stayed home with my son for 4months and I came back to work because I was going insane.. Hubby wanted me home but I just couldn’t.. It was way too much and I was sick of being home all day long.. So yeah.. That’s me! My son is now 8mo and I’m working and very happy
But since hubby keeps asking me to I might go back to staying home soon.. We’ll see.. I do miss my son <3

Yes, sometimes I do. Although I have two children now (a 4 year old and a 6 week old) and they keep me pretty busy. If anything I just miss working just because of the social aspect. I miss real adult conversations. My husband travels for a living so it gets pretty lonely sometimes…

When I had my son, I was a full time student living at the university. As such, I stayed home with him full-time except for when I was in classes, which based on my schedule, was not often. However, I really started to feel like I needed to socialize outside of the contact I had with my son and other moms. So I picked up a part-time job working at a government library on my campus. It was probably the best thing I could have done. I mean, the pay is not wonderful, I will admit that. But the socialization I get at work makes life so much less stressful. I love being with my son, but everyone needs things that are theirs alone. It also makes the time I have with my son that much more special. We do not use day care though, just to add. My husband and I just work/go to school on opposing schedules, and still have plenty of time for eachother.

not at all!! I enjoy staying home with my baby everyday. she never leaves my side. i guess i am so attached to her b/c i had many complications throughout my pregnancy and more than once i thought i was going to lose her. i have worked for about 10 years (i am almost 24) and i have never really had time off from working. now that i have my baby i am so happy to be with her all day. i do have online classes, so in a way i do have some work to do.

I do sometimes wish I was working. Not because I’m bored or anything. Mostly those days I want to work are the kids are having a bad day (especially teething) or I’ve been home with them all day and just want some adult conversation.

I havent worked since about 2 weeks after I found out I was pregnant due to going off of anxiety medication and I was working production and had to lift heavy things so I decided to take a leave, and eventually quit. My husband wants me to be a stay at home mom, but once the baby is born I know if I put my heart into it I could work again. I loved working, I loved the paychecks and I love helping out, but then again I’d love to stay home and be there for everything that my baby needs. But these days its almost impossible to NOT be a 2 income household, especially with children. So we still haven’t decided. Well I havent anyways. He wants me to stay home but I’m already so bored having been staying home by myself for 6 months. 2 to go, I already feel as if Im going insane! But I’m sure it will be different with the baby, busier etc. So we’ll see how it pans out.

Only about a hundred times a day when they were little.
But then my kids do or say something that brings me back to reality. They are 16 and 17 now and I am SSSSOOOO very happy that I never listened to that little voice inside. I know all of their friends and ours is the house where kids love to congregate. I work from home and homeschool them. They have lots of friends and the lines of communication are wide open.
It’s well worth it.

I wish I could sometimes. Being all here all day, same place gets kinda boring. I love being with my son, but having that extra money I made was real nice. Now I really bargain shop and use coupons. Its also been forever since Ive actually bought myself something new without having to worry if the baby needs something.
