I guess I'm odd...

MomOfClaireMomOfClaire
in Babies: 3 - 6 Months

because I'm totally bummed that I didn't find a teaching position for this school year.  I am so ready to have a job.  I love DD, but I need some fricking adult interaction!  I'm so not cut out to SAH. 

Now I have to decide if I want to get a job as an analyst again or just hold out until next year and hope for a teaching job that I would enjoy much more.  Decisions decisions.

    I could, but I would prefer to know that my pay will at least cover the cost of daycare.

    Yes, I agree with IrishBride... You are not odd. I learned after about 4 weeks of being on maternity leave that I could never be a SAHM. Some people just aren't cut out for it... It doen't make you a bad person!

    My family disagrees.  When I said, "I'm looking for a job," they looked at me like I said, "I enjoy running over kittens."  lol

    I'm looking for a job right now also.  I love DS but I miss using my brain.  I think I'm actually enjoying the time we have together now more because I know it won't last forever.

    You are totally NOT odd! I was just saying to my mom today that I feel a little guilty because I am so happy to be back at work...not that I am happy to be away from Corri, but that I am happy to be putting my education to good use and having grown up time again!

    Not everyone is meant to be a SAHM...I was personally starting to go stir crazy without adults to talk to all day and without anything to stimulate my mind. If you want to be a working mom, then you are better off having a job than trying to make being a SAHM mom work...better to be a happy mommy that balances work and home than a miserable SAHM.

    (Note- I am not saying that SAHM's are miserable, just that if its not what you want it can make you miserable...this is not meant to be a crack at SAHM's!)

    How funny that we all have to qualify every statement we make to avoid major flaming.  We're definitely walking on eggshells around here.  Stick out tongue

    But I totally agree with you.  I can feel my brain withering away.  My degree is in mathematics. I know that I need to keep my mind sharp or I will lose the value of my education.

    This is so me! I am so jealous of all my teacher friends. They post pictures of their classrooms and statuses about their students and makes me sad! I really was hoping to find a new teaching job over the summer and it just didn't happen, even though I applied for over 200 positions. I would love to say that I could be a SAHM, but we can't afford for me to be and I feel that I'm supposed to be teaching. I just wish it wasn't so hard to find employment right now.

     You're in Southlake??? I'm in Keller! Crazy.

    What subject do you want to teach?  NWISD has a math and an english position listed on their website for Byron Nelson H.S.

    I was just going to reply "Yes, yes you are" without even reading your post, because, well honestly, that would crack me up and I love cracking myself up!

    But,I read the post and I don't think your odd for wanting to work. :)
