I lost my job, when DS was three weeks old. My career was my life, and I had made so many sacrifices over the ten years I was involved in the industry.
Now, I can not get back into the industry, long story but it is contracting.
It is all just a major struggle, there is no future in the career I had invested so much in.
We can just about afford for me not to go back to work, but im getting fed up with toddler groups and inane conversations with other mums.
I need to embrace it with open arms, dont i?
Im sure if i had to go back to work i would be complaining too.
I miss not being able to afford to go out for meals, and holidays and worrying about every penny that I spend.
I dont get emails anymore, or texts.
It feels like i dont exist. But did I really exist before, in the world of work.
Friendships that i made during work, havent lasted, they were superficial.
But Mums seem superficial too .Why arent people open and honest when they talk to you. Why talk about the weather and feeding blah blah.
But we should be more imaginative with child rearing.
Children are worth investing in arent they?
I was poor when I was little and it gave me character.
I will have another child to distract me from the boredom!
