My baby is coming up for 7mths and now my mil has started hinting about me going back to work. Shes trying everything from when are you going back to work, it would do you good to mix with adults and then she had the cheek to say you cant live off dh forever you have to bring some money in sometime! The thing is my dh is on a good wage we are not loaded but we are not struggling either.
My dh also works away alot or will be and I feel it is unfair to our ds for both of us to work under these circumstances.I have been feeling very low lately and do get bored of the rountine but I know I would miss ds dearly if I went back.
My mil is very interferring and I feel she is anxious for me to go back to work purely so she can look after ds.Shes the sort of person who would treat ds as her own and would love to rub things in to me such as what I had missed or how much ds loves her! She would love his first word to be nana has she repeats it to him about 20 times when she sees him.
The thing is shes made me feel like im being lazy and that im not contributing whilst dh is working hard.I have always been independent so relying on my dh wage is a big deal for me it took me months before I would draw money out without him. I dont buy hardly ne thing for myself.But then thats ths sacrifice ive made to be a sahm. But now shes made me feel like im scrounging off him.
