It's such a dilemma. I have to say I ...Oh yeah. It's such a dilemma. I have to say I personally feel no guilt at all about accepting government entitlements while I'm raising my little ones. Entitlements are there for a reason and if you qualify it's because it was designed with your cohort in mind. Still, now that F is on solids and it's easier for him to handle breaks from me of more than 2 hours, I do feel compelled to work. For two reasons - like you - to engage my mind and to improve our quality of life. It's a very fine balance IMO. F has just started at day care one day a week. Of course I miss him, but... what a relief! I can't believe how productive I was that day. You almost don't know what you're not achieving until you get a breather and have the opportunity to achieve again. Anyway, good luck working it out. I'll be interested to read how your thinking progresses. I'm absolutely in the same boat and I hope we can both make it work out well for our little families!Mama Bearhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01360142399015629825noreply@blogger.com
