Has anyone actually WANTED to go back to work after giving birth? Why?

Question

Answer

Sure

I'm a 34 year old career woman. I love the hell out of my job and I've worked damn hard for it. I love what I do and it's part of who I am. I'm also a devoted wife and mother of 3 little boys. No one would question my care and love for them. My schedule is such that I have more time for them than most Moms and I'm extremely involved. They don't need daycare either (spouse and I work opposite shifts) so that stress is eliminated too. I am a great Mom, but I am more than just a great Mom. Remembering who I am outside of a parent is something I work at every single day. Keeping the career I worked hard for is just part of that.

Not everyone wants to be a SAHM. I'd lose my mind.

Answer

I am a 36 year old with a career that I worked hard to build. Up until I gave birth, I always though the that I would continue to work even if I won the lottery. Now I keep wishing that I would win so I can stay home with my little man all the time.

Answer

I love my job and co workers in my department, however, I love my children more. I wish I could be a stay at home mom to watch them grow but unfortunately I have bills to pay.

Answer

Yes, considering I'm a young mother and have a college degree to finish for the benefit of my daughter. I'm currently sahm and watch my siblings as well. It's a bit more stressed than it would be to work again.

Answer

No I have no interest in going back to work and leaving my baby with someone because I wouldn't expect him to get better care from a stranger! Not that I'm a perfect mom Lol its just that I feel that I should be his main caretaker.  I am there for all his milestones and to help teach him how the world works.  He needs to know that his mother loves him and I show him that every day by being by his side. I have my college degree, lived in NYC had the whole high powered career woman life going on! Traded in in to be a SAHM and it doesn't even compare! Being a mom is amazing and hard and the best thing I've ever done

Answer

Sometimes I wish I could go back to work just to get a break 🙄 I'm a SAHM for the time being, and have left my baby with family like, 5 times (she's 6 m/o). I'm thankful I get to stay home with my baby, but I'd love to have an actual day off.
