SAHM or Working Mom?
Did you (or will you) stop working and be a Stay at Home Mom (SAHM)? Why or why not? Any regrets in your decision, like do you find yourself wanting to go back to work, or in the middle of a meeting do you wish you were home instead? What would you tell other mom-to-bes who are considering being a SAHM - do it or not?

Sometimes getting back in the real world helps!!!

After having my son 10 months ago, within the first month i knew i had to go back to University. I had planned to take a year out but having my son in July, 2 months later i was back. I suffered post-natal depression and knew the only way i could get through it was seeking some normality. Don't get me wrong my son is my world, he has a wonderful childminder and interacts with so many different children on a daily basis. I do sometimes feel guilty about leaving him 4 days a week, however i give him more in our quality time than i think i would have if i was with him 24 hours a day. Everyone comments on how happy my son is, He is always smiling!

I believe that it is a womans choice either way. I have had the most support from my husband in going back to Uni and that makes our home a happy home when we are all there together. It is hard dealing with broken nights, teething, washing and so on while studying for a degree but i love it.
