Looking forward to return to work - am I a freak?

[Magscat]

I'm back at work on Monday (full time). Apart from being the main breadwinner in the family and therefore having little choice, I'm actually looking forward to going back. I love my new baby girl (5 months) and my boy (nearly 4) but I get bored at home & I want the challenge of my job and the company of adults again.

Some of my least maternal freinds though have chosen to go part time after having kids and this has made me feel a bit weird. There must be other Mum's out there who don't want to be at home all day? Are there?

Hi Magscat, guess what, NO job!! Guess what else?? I'm really glad, they made the decision for me, it took me all this time (2 years) to realise that my job is to look after DH, DD and DS and now I am going to do it as well as I can, maybe even try to structure my day. One day when DS is old enough to start school then I will try to get back out there. Hope you are managing home and work together, I really admire all mums that work, I am very fortunate that I don't have to, and feel very sorry for mums who have to work and want to be at home with the kids. Thanks for letting me know all the abbreviations. Cheers!!
