After my leave I will have to go back to work full time.<br /> I work from home most of the week so I think that will help. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-of-us-are-will-be-a-full-time-working-mom#post-62355 Sun, 29 Jan 2012 20:11:01 +0000 sslm 62355@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We're just TTC now, but I'll definitely be a full time working mom when the time comes. We've thrown around the idea of me only going back to work part-time (maybe 75%?) but that will all depend on where we are financially!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-of-us-are-will-be-a-full-time-working-mom#post-62353 Sun, 29 Jan 2012 20:05:39 +0000 lilteacherbee 62353@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MsMamaBear: I teach NC Pre-K, but its specifically a Pre-K center. The owners have a daycare center as well, but its in another town. The daycare I used to work at is a private preschool, but I would get an amazing discount there! Hopefully, DH will find a job back in our old town for the next school year (he's a teacher too), so we can move back! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-of-us-are-will-be-a-full-time-working-mom#post-62303 Sun, 29 Jan 2012 18:11:13 +0000 Boogs 62303@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>You know my situation already. ;) I'm a SAHM, and I'm so lucky that I am able to have this opportunity. I would consider being a full time working mom only if my husband could be a SAHD. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-of-us-are-will-be-a-full-time-working-mom#post-62298 Sun, 29 Jan 2012 18:04:52 +0000 MsMamaBear 62298@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I am. I teach Pre-K.<br /> @lilteacherbee: I teach GA Pre-K at a daycare and I get a MAJOR discount. I love it because I get to see her all day long. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-of-us-are-will-be-a-full-time-working-mom#post-62017 Sat, 28 Jan 2012 22:21:36 +0000 lilteacherbee 62017@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I will be a full-time working mom. I'm a preschool teacher and I'm hoping to move back to our old town so I can go back to my old job. I used to work at a really awesome daycare and if I go back, I can get a really good discount! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-of-us-are-will-be-a-full-time-working-mom#post-62010 Sat, 28 Jan 2012 21:54:55 +0000 Clementine 62010@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Same boat as many other ladies one my 12 weeks are up, I'll be going back to work FT. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-of-us-are-will-be-a-full-time-working-mom#post-61027 Fri, 27 Jan 2012 00:03:00 +0000 MamaCate 61027@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I will be returning to FT work outside the home next month once my maternity leave is up. It is good to see so many in the same boat! DH is in med school so i am the breadwinner, plus i like what i do and got a degree for a reason. I may do pt or stay home once DH finishes but we have a ways to go! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-of-us-are-will-be-a-full-time-working-mom#post-61000 Thu, 26 Jan 2012 22:42:07 +0000 leelee 61000@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I will be a full time working mom and honestly am already dreading having to leave LO. I'd love to be a work at home mom but unfortunately thats not an option right now in my line of work. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-of-us-are-will-be-a-full-time-working-mom#post-60997 Thu, 26 Jan 2012 22:35:15 +0000 EmmeBaby 60997@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'll also be working FT in April, that's when my Mat Leave is over. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-of-us-are-will-be-a-full-time-working-mom#post-60920 Thu, 26 Jan 2012 18:56:59 +0000 reggie 60920@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm a full time working mom and I have the best hours! I'm a high school teacher and the school is a 15 minutes drive from our house... so on most days I leave at 7am and back by 3:15pm... once a week I have grad class so I come back later and my MIL puts LO to bed... but besides that I'm usually home definitely before 4:15pm and I couldn't be happier being a working mom! it's a really good balance having your career and enjoying your baby at the same time </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-of-us-are-will-be-a-full-time-working-mom#post-60893 Thu, 26 Jan 2012 18:37:17 +0000 jennylynn 60893@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'll continue working full time. I'd love to be a SAHM, but it's just not possible for us. On the plus side, I work 3 12 hr shifts a week, and that's it, so it's nice to have the 4 other days off. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-of-us-are-will-be-a-full-time-working-mom#post-60866 Thu, 26 Jan 2012 17:57:40 +0000 justdarling 60866@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We are only TTC but I know that I will have to go back full time after maternity leave. I am the breadwinner in the family....and we live in the San Francisco Bay Area. We need to have both of our incomes. I would love to be able to stay home, but that's just not an option for us. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-of-us-are-will-be-a-full-time-working-mom#post-60865 Thu, 26 Jan 2012 17:57:22 +0000 banana 60865@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I work full time, out of the home. My schedule is a little flexible and I live close to where I work so I'm able to spend my lunch break at home with my mom and LO. Working close home is a huge plus! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-of-us-are-will-be-a-full-time-working-mom#post-60863 Thu, 26 Jan 2012 17:49:37 +0000 mrs. wagon 60863@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I was a SAHM for 18 months... probably about a year too long! I was miserable. Now I'm a working mom, working outside of the home, with RJ in daycare full time and I couldn't be happier! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-of-us-are-will-be-a-full-time-working-mom#post-60793 Thu, 26 Jan 2012 16:33:18 +0000 Bluebonnet 60793@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I will be working full time after LO is born (and maternity leave is over). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-of-us-are-will-be-a-full-time-working-mom#post-60779 Thu, 26 Jan 2012 16:24:07 +0000 Mrs. Blue 60779@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Thanks to mountains of school loans, we will probably both be working full-time when we have our first. There is a chance that I might be able to go part-time in the next few years, which I think would be the best of all worlds: I could spend extra time with our kids/not have to have them in daycare as much, but still get out of the house and continue my career. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-of-us-are-will-be-a-full-time-working-mom#post-60774 Thu, 26 Jan 2012 16:19:27 +0000 HabesBabe 60774@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'll be working full time, from home 90% of the time. I'll have to trek into the office a few times a month for events. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-of-us-are-will-be-a-full-time-working-mom#post-60761 Thu, 26 Jan 2012 16:13:43 +0000 j0s1e267 60761@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I will be back working full time in April when LOs are 5 months old. Thankfully, my parents will be visiting so we will be able to hold off on daycare until June. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-of-us-are-will-be-a-full-time-working-mom#post-60745 Thu, 26 Jan 2012 16:04:12 +0000 mediagirl 60745@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'll be working full time 3 months after the baby is born. My Mom is going to come watch her for a month after that and then dh is going to take a couple of weeks off to stay at home with her before he goes back. We can't afford for either of us to stay home, though with the goals we have set for ourselves. It sucks but we're coming to terms with it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-of-us-are-will-be-a-full-time-working-mom#post-60743 Thu, 26 Jan 2012 16:02:41 +0000 T.H.O.U. 60743@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I work full time but my husband has a more flexible schedule. It's nice that he can sometimes get her early from day care so she's not there as long. Once she is school aged I would like to work PT or flex schedule or on school schedule. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-of-us-are-will-be-a-full-time-working-mom#post-60735 Thu, 26 Jan 2012 15:49:02 +0000 Pepper 60735@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I will definitely still be working full time once we have a kid. We are fortunate because my mom has already agreed to watch our future children during the day. I would probably consider other options if we needed to pay for child care. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-of-us-are-will-be-a-full-time-working-mom#post-60627 Thu, 26 Jan 2012 14:04:45 +0000 marley 60627@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I will be a WOHM after a 3-month maternity leave. My husband will be WAHD. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-of-us-are-will-be-a-full-time-working-mom#post-60617 Thu, 26 Jan 2012 13:59:32 +0000 mrsjazz 60617@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'll be going back to work full-time after my 3-month maternity leave. Wish I wasn't (would like to go part-time) but my husband and I make similar salaries (he makes about 6k more than I do) and we wouldn't be able to live as we do on one salary. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-of-us-are-will-be-a-full-time-working-mom#post-60567 Thu, 26 Jan 2012 13:29:02 +0000 Mrs.VW 60567@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I will be! DH and I make the same but we're both going to keep working. Right now, we're not pregnant yet, we're hoping/praying my mother in law will be our childcare. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-of-us-are-will-be-a-full-time-working-mom#post-60351 Thu, 26 Jan 2012 11:22:08 +0000 Mrsbells 60351@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would like to stay home for atleast the first year or two or maybe work part time. But we cant afford that now. so I will return to working full time after 3 months </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-of-us-are-will-be-a-full-time-working-mom#post-60347 Thu, 26 Jan 2012 11:18:54 +0000 DpeachLu 60347@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I work full time and will continue to for at least another few years. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-of-us-are-will-be-a-full-time-working-mom#post-60340 Thu, 26 Jan 2012 11:14:04 +0000 Rescuemom10 60340@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DH is Military and I work FOR the Military. I have always been pretty career driven enen though I am NOT where I thought I would be. None the less, I will and even have to continue working. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-of-us-are-will-be-a-full-time-working-mom#post-60289 Thu, 26 Jan 2012 10:31:34 +0000 BabyLove 60289@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My husband and I both work full-time. It was an adjustment. I knew this is what it would be like, but when you actually have a baby and transition into work- it sucks! Now it's not so bad. I think it benefits all of us in different ways. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-of-us-are-will-be-a-full-time-working-mom#post-60272 Thu, 26 Jan 2012 10:06:22 +0000 Mrs. Jacks 60272@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>You know the answer for me ;) </p> <p>We really wouldn't have it any other way. I'm so glad my daughter is growing up with such a great relationship with her dad! </p>
