Yesss me!! I'm still going to go back to work (in a few years, when I'm done my current schooling), but I plan on working the bare minimum/part time lol. I just want some of my own money. I'll be done school before a few years, but I want to be able to breastfeed my SECOND baby exclusively for at least 6 months. So I'll go back after that. My first is only 3 months old😅 I have it all planned out🤣 If it weren't for me wanting my own bit of money I probably wouldn't go back at all

Yes!! Sitting at my desk think wtf am I here? My mom is taking care of baby, so I can go to work, which is amazing. But like, why does she get to spend more time with my LO than I do?

I was never ambitious about a career and now I'm even less ambitious lol.
I just wanna raise my kid. I don't want someone else to do it. Why did nobody told me I would feel that way? Haha

What is the point of having kids if you have to have someone else take care of them for 8 hrs a day then you have a commute…this is what goes through my head everyday

Definitely feel this! I left my career change in order to be with my daughter. I decided to drive for the county school so I can bring my daughter with me
exactly!

Feel the same, went from working 50 hours a week to now I'm going to ask to work 30-35 and go part time. Just want to be around more for my LO while she's young. Work will still be there in a couple years when she is older.

Me!!! It’s not that I necessarily want to be a SAHM, I know it’s just not even a possibility at the moment, but before I was so ambitious to go back to school for my MA & move up in my field & now I’m like nope no way 😂ðŸ˜
Idk if it’s just right now but it is SO hard being a working mom. I cannot imagine being a working mom in school & taking on a role in my career with even more responsibilities.
It’s crazy I’m a teacher so I 100% relate to those talking about having someone else raise their kid. I drop my baby off at daycare just to go take care of 26 6 year olds that aren’t mine ðŸ«
