It is nice to have a break sometimes. I hope you'll be able to stay home in the future, if that's what you want to do.Lhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09616675420814694058noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1907253263634788488.post-82031586264747740132012-06-26T22:03:30.615-04:002012-06-26T22:03:30.615-04:00I things go okay with your management changes - I ...I things go okay with your management changes - I think it would be even worse to have to be away from your baby at a place that you don't enjoy being. That's one good thing about my job, I have a great boss and really like most of the work we do.Lhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09616675420814694058noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1907253263634788488.post-75099663169325779062012-06-25T11:11:35.553-04:002012-06-25T11:11:35.553-04:00It is a hard decision, which I understand.

But honestly there are plenty of Sunday nights that I'm thankful the next day is Monday and someone else is going to be caring for him! Maybe I wouldn't feel like that if we had family here, but when care for C is just between me and hubs, there are breaking points ;) I'm glad we know financially I can't stay home right now as we begin trying for #2. I hope one day I can though. Good luck in your decision - you made the right decision to test going back to work for 3 months, now you can take some time to test being a SAHM. Nothing is permanent. If you change your mind, you can and will figure out a way to make it all work for you!Stephaniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17825760280034335629noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1907253263634788488.post-40120054785212307542012-06-23T14:28:26.173-04:002012-06-23T14:28:26.173-04:00Such a hard decision.

But I would think if you are going to do it, now is the time. I would hate to work all summer and begin being a SAHM during the winter. <br /><br />That is so great your parents are moving close!!!!kkasunhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02183334533316759163noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1907253263634788488.post-75171738149522613472012-06-23T11:09:22.747-04:002012-06-23T11:09:22.747-04:00This is such a tough decision.

I'm just too comfortable with change and don't have it in me right now to venture out and look for something else, preferably part time like you mentioned. I didn't think I would like being a SAHM full time, but now that it's summer and I'm hearing all the fun things they get to do with their kiddos, it's making me dread going to work even more every day. If I quit, JJ would have to get a different job at the railroad which would make him work 40+ hours. It's all such a give and take. I really hope that the right decision for you becomes obvious (as I'm sure it will) and your husband is right, you can't predict the future but can change the present if you aren't happy.Stephaniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16875307109685150842noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1907253263634788488.post-50250221809270365512012-06-22T21:32:48.946-04:002012-06-22T21:32:48.946-04:00Change is always tough... whether it was going bac...Change is always tough... whether it was going back to work or now, finishing work... both are things you can't know how you'll feel about until they happen. I am sure you will really love being a SAHM once you do it! I am working at home now, kind of part-time I suppose (our own business so flexible) and I absolutely love having all this time with Alidia! And you're right, if it doesn't work out for you, it isn't the end of the world. You can always go back to working if that suits you and your family best. Good luck!! :)Fionahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10599185555003951397noreply@blogger.com
