Insane jealousy

livvielolivvielo
in Parenting after 35
One of my coworkers, who gave birth a couple weeks after me, just quit to stay at home. I am insanely, insanely jealous. The novelty of working has worn off (though the reality of us being very lucky to have my income has not!!) and now I just want more time with Mal. Crying I wish my industry had more part-time gigs?that would be the best of both worlds. Sigh.

    I totally understand. Four days a week would be perfect for me. Or working from home but those are not options right now.

    I do know I want to work just not full-time.

    I am in the same boat.  I started work today and it feels good to be back but I would LOVE LOVE LOVE to be with Brenna a couple days out the week...but I can't work PT doing what I do.

    Totally understand. I posted just the other day about how jealous I am of my sister who is quitting her job to be a SAHM.

    Part-time would be great (not an option in my field either). Right now I would settle for a  job closer to home so I could at least give up my commute.

    I know, it sucks big hairy donkey balls Left Hug

    I had to quit my job due to moving out of state but I will need to generate some income soon, either working from home or part-time. My field does allow that but there aren't many opportunities in this economy. Back in the day I had a lot of freelance gigs but now everything has dried up. I think I wouldn't want to be a total SAHM either though, I like feeling productive and having conversations during the day with adults!

    Me: 44 DH: 42. DS born healthy at 40 weeks 8/24/09. TTC since then with no luck or ART. Surprise BFP 8/6/14... MMC @ 8 weeks 4 days... Miss you everyday sweet baby angel.
