Nope not at all, I think it depends on the person at the end of the day other besides financial side of things. I think for some of the mums that go back to work they do it for themselves and/or for their mental health and they can be a better parent and wife. I went back to work only for a few nights a week for about 6 months and I enjoyed having that time to do a adult thing but all I could think about was my daughter and did she go to sleep okay for her dad. I actually enjoy being a sahm I like that I can get a break with sending them to daycare 2 days a week for me time as I get can the house in order and do something for me or something that is easier without having kids around.
No you’re not a bad mum at all. Having balance in your life is a really good thing and you should always think about what’s best for you as well as your kids. You’ll be a better mum for thinking about what you need too and making sure you get that. I liked going to work as it makes the time you have together more special and I think it’s also good for the child to have time away from parents x
