So.It's been about a year since I've written a single word in here.
Don't beat me up... life gets in the way sometimes... situations get in the way sometimes.. but at the end of it all I do come back!
It's been a whirlwind of a year though.
Because of some staff changes and developmental changes in my workplace, I decided to stay at home and take care of my children.
It wasn't an easy decision because to be honest, I didn't want to be a mother on benefits; but to be honest I feel I need to spend time with my kids and make sure they are prepared when they start primary school.
I was in Primark the other day, and I bumped into a young lady who had a 1 year old-- it's her first child, and she's a single mum so she's had to go back to work against her will. Now she wants to change her decision because she feels she's not able to spend as much time with her son as she likes but the workplace is giving her hell.
Even when I was working-- when I would finish work and come home I'm so tired, that I can't even have quality time with my children.. it would be time for bed anyway!
And then the whole childcare situation...
Childcare is an absolute biatch-- I really didn't see a point of going back to work to practically be working to pay off childcare fees.
So tada. Here I am.
Oh my goodness. A lot in common i decided not to go back to work. Its a big sacrifice. I applaud you for that
