So if these expectations are excessively high or rigid then there are likely to be difficulties with low mood.<br /><br />In my personal opinion, I've found that going back to work has really helped me. <br />I don't feel as though I'm palming my kid off at all! I think he gets two days having lots of fun, playing with others and doing activities he doesn't get to do at home.<br />I get a break! I get to do the job I love, use my brain, talk to other adults. And when I finish my 2 days I am genuinely looking forward to spending my time with my boy and think I'm way more motivated to plan stuff to do together.<br /><br />I think it's about balance. I'd wouldn't want to work full-time but actually part-time seems to work for both of us.Jenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17868950144119487862noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6001820846083403675.post-29398306518843415822014-07-09T20:20:32.436+01:002014-07-09T20:20:32.436+01:00Thank you xThank you xCelestial Mumhttp://www.celestialmum.co.uknoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6001820846083403675.post-2205643983546140752014-07-09T20:17:44.926+01:002014-07-09T20:17:44.926+01:00I could have written this exact blog post! I know...I could have written this exact blog post! I know just what you mean. I love my children dearly, love the precious moments I have through being a SAHM but I also find it overwhelming and monotonous at times. I don't want to go back to work, I want to be with my children but I do find motherhood so much harder than I expected it to be and it makes me feel very guilty at times when I don't enjoy it as much as I would like to. I don't have any answers, just a virtual hug and to let you know you are not alone in this.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
