I've been dying to go back to work

I never wanted to be a SAHM and, sure enough, I'm not loving it. I am bored. I miss my job. I miss interacting with people on a regular basis.  I've been home since February and will go back in September (I'm a teacher).

All of a sudden, I'm starting to think I'll be sad to go back. What is that all about?!?  I've been counting down the days for months and now this?

 

"Hello, babies. Welcome to Earth. It's hot in the summer and cold in the winter. It's round and wet and crowded. At the outside, babies, you've got about a hundred years here. There's only one rule that I know of, babies. God damn it, you've got to be kind." - Kurt Vonnegut

    That's how I was.  I'm guessing you're feeling that way because DD is old enough to play/interact with you.  Enjoy the remaining time you have home, though ;)

    I just started back and I was itching to get out of the house!  I was not cut out to SAHM at all, but I am still a mom and I do miss my DD.  Plus, as PP said, once she turned 4m, it got so much better and more fun.  We know each other better and she isn't nearly as fussy.  But I still like work, and I don't think I'd be happy being at home full time.

    I was in the same boat too. I was off for four months and I was ready to go back after my 6wk check up. It was something that happened that last month off and I did not want to go back at all. I was more emotional about going back than I ever was with my first. I never wanted to stay home either and I am still toying with the idea of it. I have now been back for a few weeks and I have a pretty good deal since I do not work five days a week to begin with, but I still miss them. Its hard to say because now being back is not so bad.

    I know exactly how you feel.  When I was out on maternity leave (8 weeks) I knew I couldn't do that sort of thing long term.  I'm just not built for the SAHM role. 

    Now that I'm back at work, I give DD a kiss/hug every morning before I head out & I hate leaving her.  The emotions are very conflicting.  I think its a bit of the "grass is greener" mentality.  When I'm home for extended periods of time, I can't wait to get back to my projects at work.  When I'm at work, I can't wait to get home.

    I guess that's just how it goes.
