With my older girls I felt ready to go back, but this time I feel like I hate everything about my job right now. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/loving-being-a-wohm-and-shocked/page/2#post-580347 Wed, 20 Feb 2013 15:20:15 +0000 meredithNYC 580347@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@googly-eyes: I am the same way. Every other day I seem to change my mind as far as whether I want to go to work or stay home. Now that I've been home with LO for 9 months I'm afraid to leave the comfort of the known, even though I'm bored out of my mind. I really need some motivation to take the leap and look for work! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/loving-being-a-wohm-and-shocked/page/2#post-580322 Wed, 20 Feb 2013 15:12:58 +0000 Mrs. Cowgirl 580322@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>hooray! that's fantastic! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/loving-being-a-wohm-and-shocked/page/2#post-580081 Wed, 20 Feb 2013 14:11:50 +0000 CarrieLouWho 580081@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I felt the same way... I really thought I wanted to SAHM, but I have found that having time apart is good for everyone in my house :o) So happy to hear things are going well for you!!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/loving-being-a-wohm-and-shocked/page/2#post-580074 Wed, 20 Feb 2013 14:09:39 +0000 ladyfingers 580074@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>That's great! Gives me hope! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/loving-being-a-wohm-and-shocked#post-580068 Wed, 20 Feb 2013 14:08:19 +0000 DillonLion 580068@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@sloaneandpuffy: That's where I had this "epiphany" this morning. Usually DH and I ride together and since he drives, I let him pick what we listen to (usually sports talk radio - UGH). But he worked from home today so I got to listen to some really loud music of my own choosing. And sing terribly to it. It was great. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/loving-being-a-wohm-and-shocked#post-580058 Wed, 20 Feb 2013 14:06:25 +0000 mamimami 580058@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had a similar experience. Every day during my maternity leave with my first child, at least once, I wanted to just SCREAM in frustration. Once I went back to work, that stopped. SAH is not for everyone! One of my favorite parts of going to work is driving there and back, being ALONE in my car and listening to music or whatever. I missed that time! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/loving-being-a-wohm-and-shocked#post-580054 Wed, 20 Feb 2013 14:05:33 +0000 Mrs. Bee 580054@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>yay glad to hear that it all worked out. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/loving-being-a-wohm-and-shocked#post-580049 Wed, 20 Feb 2013 14:03:39 +0000 DillonLion 580049@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Yoyo: Thank goodness for that! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/loving-being-a-wohm-and-shocked#post-580047 Wed, 20 Feb 2013 14:03:16 +0000 Beebug 580047@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I love this thread, thank-you for posting it.</p> <p>I have ants in my pants to go back to work, and feel AWFUL about it, DH got a pissed when I told him and I felt beyond guilty. I am loving being a Mom and loving our LO, but really do look forward to going to work again after mat leave. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/loving-being-a-wohm-and-shocked#post-579927 Wed, 20 Feb 2013 13:36:25 +0000 Mrs. Yoyo 579927@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Glad you're feeling better, mama! Sometimes things work out a certain way for a reason, eh? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/loving-being-a-wohm-and-shocked#post-579921 Wed, 20 Feb 2013 13:34:58 +0000 googly-eyes 579921@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Good for you!! I SAH and I don't love it but I'm also scared to go to work..so this give me hope. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/loving-being-a-wohm-and-shocked#post-579898 Wed, 20 Feb 2013 13:31:07 +0000 SAHM0811 579898@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>that's awesome! Staying home is hard!! I went back to work after #1 and to me, going to work was my "break" and "me time"!! Haha. That's great too, that you have a very supportive husband. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/loving-being-a-wohm-and-shocked#post-579269 Wed, 20 Feb 2013 11:23:33 +0000 edelweiss 579269@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>that's wonderful! gives me hope! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/loving-being-a-wohm-and-shocked#post-579263 Wed, 20 Feb 2013 11:22:15 +0000 mrskc 579263@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yay!

I'm really happy to hear that :) I had the same experience - I dreaded going back and was so pleasantly surprised that I enjoyed working again. Also like you, it was super helpful that I love the people I work with and my boss was so accommodating to my return. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/loving-being-a-wohm-and-shocked#post-579215 Wed, 20 Feb 2013 11:09:49 +0000 2PeasinaPod 579215@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>So glad to hear!</p> <p>It's definitely been an adjustment, but I feel like we're in a groove now too. I commend those who are SAHMs...I just couldn't do it. I love my job too much to stay at home, but I also feel guilty about it. It feel like it makes me appreciate my time with my son that much more though. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/loving-being-a-wohm-and-shocked#post-579208 Wed, 20 Feb 2013 11:07:44 +0000 mrsjyw 579208@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>SO HAPPY TO HEAR THIS!! :) And I totally agree with you! </p> <p>While it's been an adjustment, I'm overall really happy this week (first wk back)... It helps that I am working from home too, but I am excited to be working and getting a different kind of mental stimulation back in my life! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/loving-being-a-wohm-and-shocked#post-579179 Wed, 20 Feb 2013 10:58:40 +0000 .twist. 579179@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>That is AWESOME. </p> <p>This post is really encouraging. I know I have to go back to work and part of me had dreaded that (and I'm not even on maternity leave yet!!). I'm really hopeful that I'll feel similarly to you! :D </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/loving-being-a-wohm-and-shocked#post-579166 Wed, 20 Feb 2013 10:55:37 +0000 blackbird 579166@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>So great to hear this!!!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/loving-being-a-wohm-and-shocked#post-579138 Wed, 20 Feb 2013 10:51:17 +0000 pinkcupcake 579138@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>That is great to hear!
