My SIL is about to have her 1st baby. She is due to go back to work after a year. She has quite a stressful job with long hours, but a big salary as has her husband.
When i had my 1st dc we lived in a different country, so i wasn't working. When we came back to the UK, i got pregnant with my 2nd dc almost straight away, so never got a job. Throughout this time SIL made it clear that she would never give up work, and frequently asked when i was going back to work.
Now both dc have started school but there have been large cut backs in my old profession since i had my dc. I do not want to work full time, and jobs are scarce. The type of job i could get would barely cover the cost of buying and running a 2nd car and paying for before and after school club and i love being able to take them to school and be at home after school.
DH love our lives. More money would be nice, but not essential.
SIL knows all above, but now goes on and on about me not having a job, and she will use a child minder why can't i. I find her quite intimidating, but wish i could think of something to say to shut her up.
