To work or not to work?

Lazy for not wanting to work?!? I'm flat out at home, sometimes I remember work being easier
No one thinks that stay at home mums are lazy...at least, I really hope they don't!

I think there is a lot of judging both ways - Some people give you nasty looks/comments when you say you are going back to work as well as when you say you are going to be a full-time mum!

I dont know, I just think there is a part of me which is enriched and proud of my career achievements. I like that there are 2 aspects to me, the mum and the vet (oh and the wife haha).. It really is so personal and I get opinions on being there 24/7 for your kiddies... but I also completely understand those that can have those "two parts".

I know that if I was to SAH with DD and not return to work I would always wonder "what if"... Also when she moves out of home (to go to university ) at 18 the working part of me can come more to the forefront and I wont be completely lost! Dont get me wrong - being a mum is always my most important job and will ALWAYS come first.

I have just seen my mum go through this after SAH with us for 20 years - she is now finding it impossible to get a job in what she was doing before she had me.. Unfortunately 20 years of SAHM experience probably doesnt get put on the top of the CV pile
