I have just returned to work after a 5 year break and really enjoy my work. What I do is not earth-shattering but I wanted to put myself back in the workplace gently. I work mornings so that I can collect my kids from school - so the type of job that I can do is rather limited.
My problem is the people that I work with. Don't get me wrong - they are great guys - but it's their attitude towards me that makes me feel uneasy.
What they see is a middle aged mother returning to work and "playing at jobs". They cannot understand that I want to work as I have a nice car and a new mobile phone and therefore I'm rolling in it and really don't need to work.
I get on with them OK and we have a laugh - but I don't feel that I should justify my decision. Truth is that we all need a little bit more money and yet they think I'm talking c**p.
How do I tell them to "back off" without seeming like a spoilt snotty cow?
I feel better after that rant !
