MIL thinks I should be staying at home with ds (9 months) as we can afford it. DH is a high earner and I'm not. But I really need to go back to work - I miss my job. I love my son but being at home all the time is driving me mad. MIL is very disapproving of this and thinks if I can't bring myself to not work I should be looking for a new job which only requires one day a week.
I will be going back to my role part time, 4 days a week with one of those days from home and slightly condensed hours of 9-4, plus an hours commute door to door including childminder drop off and pick up. I like my job and my boss is great - very very flexible. I know for instance she won't mind at all if I need to take time off if ds is sick. But MIL says this is too much and I won't be able to cope and nor will ds.
I now feel shit. AIBU to be going back to work?
