Work asked if I'd want to come back...

[dionnysoss]

Hello everyone,
So I have been asked by the Production Manager if I'd consider coming back to work...
Honestly I don't want to go back. I enjoy my work and coworkers are lovely, but I enjoy being a mum and spending time with my baby. She's just turned 6 months old last week.
Are there any jobs I can do as a stay at home mom?
Thank you

Do you get a year's maternity leave? You don't need to make the decision yet? I don't think they're even technically allowed to ask you if you're planning on coming back yet. Could you do part time?

When you say a job while being a stay at home mum do you mean not use childcare? I think you'll struggle to find a job that you can do while actually looking after your child (unless childminding?)

You might feel differently when little one is a bit older. I felt the same as you until I went back part time when he was 14 months.

Other than childminder or nanny there is no jobs you were you can look after your baby at the same time.

It's entirely up to you what you want to do. Whilst there seems to be a general view that all women want to work in some form, I'm one of the few who never returned to work, not when my kids went to primary school, secondary school and now they are at uni. I'm in my mid 50s now and never regretted it. I've been questioned about it many times ....."but what a waste of your education", "but what about your pensions", "but what about your glittering career", "but what if you split with your DH", "but what about your independence", "but won't you get bored", "I could never be reliant on my DH or be a kept woman". Well here I am, DH and I are still together. The mortgage is paid off. The kids are doing fine, great in fact. The world is still spinning (albeit a bit wonkily but not because I chose to stay at home. What I'm saying is if you can get by without the cash and you don't want to work, and your partner is fine with it, enjoy your life and don't feel under obligations to do otherwise.

You can't work and look after your baby at the same time.

Don’t say no yet, you might change your mind in the future

Are you planning on getting childcare to work from home or do that and look after your child?

No there isn’t a job you can do whilst a stay at home mum.

There are jobs you can do working from my home whilst your child is in childcare.

Child minding can be done from home.

There are definitely some
jobs you could
do around the baby in the evenings or whilst they are sleeping. Depends what skills you have? Clerical, accounts, delivering leaflets?
