I was a stay at home mum up until 3 years ago. I went back to work when my daughter was 9 months old because I needed to get out. I know that sounds bloody awful but it's true, I didn't like being around her and my son because I found it hard to cope so the easy option was to work. I'm very fortunate that I didn't have a need to but to save my sanity and mental health.
I feel a lot has happened since those early days. I'm more settled, but I'm also tired and yearning for my family again. The children go to an after school club, we don't get home till gone 5.....then it's dinner, tidy up, homework, bath, bed and it's all getting a bit much for me and them now.
My DH and I have been talking and he said he'd like me back at home and I have to say I'm finding that a nice thought. Since working I've really given my career another go and I haven't got anywhere. I feel that all the while I'm thinking what things I have to do at home and I'm giving it a really half arsed attempt. I've also never found the balance of work and home life and it's making me feel sad.
WIBU to jack it all in and start from scratch? Has anyone else reverted back to being a SAHM?
