Motherhood is no vacation.When babies are little, their care is constant, but it doesn't get easier as they grown, your problems just become different. Our twins are in kindergarten now and we worry about homework and bullies and making sure they are getting the support they need to flourish. That alone is a lot, on top of laundry and cooking and shopping and cleaning...
The thought of going back to work is tricky. How will we possibly balance all of this? I worry I won't find a good fit of a job that will let me be flexible about my hours.
On the other hand, the idea of getting back to using my brain is exciting. I do love a challenge and being creative - and while Motherhood offers a ton of challenges and ample opportunity for creativeness, I would like something with less glue and glitter! Professional problem solving is something I really miss - putting out a fire at work so that everyone is happy in the end.
I also miss working in a team. Some of my closest friends have come from work and Motherhood cane be lonely. Having a team to bounce ideas around with and dive into action - that sounds like bliss! Also, sharing the load with other people, as opposed to being the go-to person ("Mom! Where my...?") sounds like HEAVEN.
The prospect of juggling work and kids is daunting, but I think the positives outweigh the difficulties, and I am actually looking forward to finding a new job!
