Not sure if this should be here or in the going back to work section..maybe someone can let me know.
So I've just had a massive row with DP about going back to work. Tonight was supposed to be about 'us'. I cooked a nice meal etc etc. we started arguing during dinner and now I'm in bed crying and making my way through a bottle of red....
It started by me telling him my new ideas to start a very small business just as pocket money, he barely listened and announced "I've been thinking you should go back to work straight after Xmas" as I'm not due back until march I was kind of shocked especially as we will have enough money until march. I think he's jealous to be honest as he makes comments when he leaves for work etc. I don't think he realises that being a mum is a job too!
Anyway I said that there is no way I'm going back after Xmas. Firstly because I'm not due back until march and secondly I'm not ready to leave dd just yet. He thinks I'm being silly.
Then I dropped the bombshell that I don't think I ever want to go back...well...he went mad and said there's no question I'm going back. I said to him even if we're ok for money you'd still want me to go back for the sake of it and he said yes.
Basically (sorry for the essay) I don't want to go back to work I just want to carry on having kids. Now let me say it's not because I want all the governments money it's purely because this is what i know I should do for a job. Im enjoying being a mummy so much and I just really don't want to leave my baby to work for some s**tty company!
Am I being stupid?! To be honest it's touched a nerve :-(
