I wasn't sure where to post this.
I went back to work last week. I am currently working 3 days a week and after childcare I'm left with nothing really at the end of the month. My Dh pays all household bills/insurance/mortgage etc. Our plan is to move out of the area we are in and I will stay at home with dd(1) until she goes to nursery. We would be financially better off even without me working.
I am a PA at the moment. I've worked my way up to this from being a GP receptionist 6 years ago. I am also (potentially) going to be stepping up to office manager for approximately 3 months.
I guess I'm just wondering if doing this is a huge mistake. I don't want to work for nothing, and miss out on dd. But I also don't want to be unable to resume working when she's big enough. Either way, we will still be moving.
For full disclosure. I won't be having any more children. I had horrible PND for the first 6-7 months of dds life and I feel like I missed out.
