I work in the office in a school and it's terrific. We are home around 4 everday. The school where I work is incredible and very understanding if I need to stay home with LO, etc. Also, I get all school vacations and summers off! It's the best of both worlds for me! I am much happier in this situation than I was being at home all day. Things are a little crazier, but it's worth it to me. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-happy-w-your-work-status/page/2#post-1485906 Tue, 11 Mar 2014 09:23:18 +0000 rattles 1485906@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm a SAHM, and I love it right now. I'm a little worried about whether I'll regret being out of the workforce when my kids are older though. It's so hard to project out though, and it doesn't do any good to live in the future, so for now I feel lucky to be where I am. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-happy-w-your-work-status/page/2#post-1485617 Tue, 11 Mar 2014 07:37:41 +0000 Alivoo01 1485617@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm WOHM, but would love to be a WAHM 2 days a week.

There's a biiiiig part of me that doesn't want to go back to work. Ideally I'd like to go back to work three 8 hour days a week instead of full time (which is just over three 12 hours days a week). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-happy-w-your-work-status/page/2#post-1484645 Mon, 10 Mar 2014 16:47:19 +0000 yellowbird 1484645@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm a wohm and I'm mostly happy. I would like to go down to 32 hours but I can't fathom losing 20% of my salary. We would be fine, but that's a lot to cut out when we're paying down some debt. Maybe in a year or two. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-happy-w-your-work-status/page/2#post-1484620 Mon, 10 Mar 2014 16:27:07 +0000 MrsH 1484620@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm on maternity leave and love it :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-happy-w-your-work-status/page/2#post-1484584 Mon, 10 Mar 2014 16:11:53 +0000 teamjse 1484584@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm a woh 3 days a week and a wah 2 days a week.

The plan is for me to quit my job about 2 months out from due date and SAH for as long as I/we feel it is working. It might mean SAH forever (we don't need my income), or it might mean for a few months. I just don't want to HAVE to go back because of mat leave ending, especially to this job.<br /> I hate my current job and want to quit either way! So this pregnancy is the right reason to do that and reassess. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-happy-w-your-work-status#post-1484410 Mon, 10 Mar 2014 15:01:35 +0000 Sammyfab 1484410@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Right now I WOH part-time (0.6) and it's perfect for work-life balance!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-happy-w-your-work-status#post-1484399 Mon, 10 Mar 2014 14:58:19 +0000 mfa_lady 1484399@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@char54: My SIL never went back to work after her first kiddo--she said that if she'd had to go back at 6 or 7 weeks, she would have welcomed the "break," but by the time 15-16 weeks rolled around, my niece was so fun she just decided to scrap the whole WOH business. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-happy-w-your-work-status#post-1484343 Mon, 10 Mar 2014 14:36:21 +0000 Purpledaisy 1484343@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I like WOH part time (20ish hours a weeks)I feel like I have the best of both worlds.

Ideally, I would love to WOH two or three days a week, and SAH the others. Not financially possible, unfortunately. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-happy-w-your-work-status#post-1484226 Mon, 10 Mar 2014 14:01:45 +0000 mrs. tictactoe 1484226@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I WOH full time, though I am a teacher, so my hours are better than most. I would love to be a SAHM, but I don't think it'll ever happen for us, so I'm trying to let go of that dream. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-happy-w-your-work-status#post-1484198 Mon, 10 Mar 2014 13:52:08 +0000 LuLu Mom 1484198@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm a full time WOHM, Ideally I would like to be a part time WOHM. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-happy-w-your-work-status#post-1484197 Mon, 10 Mar 2014 13:50:46 +0000 edelweiss 1484197@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>full-time WOHM and i like it that way. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-happy-w-your-work-status#post-1484194 Mon, 10 Mar 2014 13:50:10 +0000 lavender 1484194@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm a full time wohm, ideally I'd like to be part time wohm </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-happy-w-your-work-status#post-1484188 Mon, 10 Mar 2014 13:47:10 +0000 BlueWolverine 1484188@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>WOHM and like it, but I would love to be part time.

I don't think I could SAH full time, but I wish I had the option to work part-time in my field. I'm also over dealing with board politics. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-happy-w-your-work-status#post-1484108 Mon, 10 Mar 2014 13:21:26 +0000 katsupgirl 1484108@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It's meh. I'm a WOHM but would love to be a part time WAHM/WOHM. I need to do something or else I won't be motivated to do anything but I'd like the flexibility to spend more time with LO. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-happy-w-your-work-status#post-1484061 Mon, 10 Mar 2014 13:09:42 +0000 Ash 1484061@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm a part time wohm. I work 20 hours in 2 days so I'm home 5x a week. But I want to be a sahm - I've only been back from mat leave for 2 weeks now so I might start enjoying being away. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-happy-w-your-work-status#post-1484046 Mon, 10 Mar 2014 13:05:01 +0000 lawbee11 1484046@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm happier as a WOHM than I would have been as a SAHM, but I think working part-time would be the best of both worlds. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-happy-w-your-work-status#post-1484026 Mon, 10 Mar 2014 12:59:36 +0000 bhbee 1484026@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I am happiest being home with LO, so SAHM or WAHM (part-time, low hours) are both ok with me. I was doing the latter for a while and enjoying it, but my company got acquired and things changed and my WAHM situation isn't so peachy anymore. I'm hoping to transition to SAHM by the end of the year. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-happy-w-your-work-status#post-1484006 Mon, 10 Mar 2014 12:52:51 +0000 JessKas 1484006@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm a full time student, so I'm gone about 20-25 hours a week. My ideal would be to work part time when I'm done because I know staying at home is not for me but full time sounds like too much. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-happy-w-your-work-status#post-1483991 Mon, 10 Mar 2014 12:48:33 +0000 blackbird 1483991@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm content right now but am 95% sure I will ask to drop to a 32 hour schedule with a second :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-happy-w-your-work-status#post-1483971 Mon, 10 Mar 2014 12:43:21 +0000 sunny 1483971@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm a SAHM but currently looking for a job!
