Working makes me a better mom. I love my breaks with my son and I try to spend as much time with him outside of work (after work, take days off, etc.) but it wouldn't work for me to stay home 24/7. I get really excited to run home and see him every day. I will say, though, I missed him like crazy my first couple of days back to work after the holidays. I work at a university and we had some snow days so I was off for close to 18 days with him. It felt weird dropping him off.
I have been a sahm from the start, and I very much wanted to be. Now I am going crazy with spending every waking moment (and some moments when I should be sleeping) with a toddler. I was supposed to go back to work this fall (I'm a teacher) but because of life it has been postponed until next fall.
I know I'm going to cry my eyes out when I have to leave him for a full day of work, but I still can't wait. Like @eyenigh said, I think the space will make me a better mother.
Nope. I used to post on attachment parenting when DS was little. This is the only other board I've consistently posted on. As a long-time lurker, I've never really had the guts to enter larger boards, especially when it's clear there are regulars.
