I will miss my little man terribly when I go back to work but there are a few reasons why I am secretly glad to be returning to the paid workforce...
Apart from financial, what are some good reasons you have
for going back to work?

- Being able to go to the toilet whenever I want ON MY OWN!!!
- Being able to drink a HOT cup of coffee whenever I feel like it.
- Not having to hide inside the pantry to eat some chocolate.
- Having people actually listen to what I’m saying, THE FIRST TIME!
- Having a LUNCH BREAK and not resorting to eating the remains of my son’s soggy lunch.

I'm not planning to go back to work for a while.. but some days are so tough that I fantasise about returning to work for exactly those reasons!
ReplyDeleteGlad you linked up today :-)
Thanks Catherine for all your help! You are a gem. :)
DeleteI hope to go back to work next year...and yes. It's mainly because I want to have people listen to what I'm saying :)
ReplyDeleteThanks for linking up !
Thanks Grace! I'm so glad I have found your blog. I am your newest fan! :)
DeleteHi! I enjoyed reading your blog. Following from Flo Yo Blog Friday! I would appreciate the follow back! Have a great day! -Kat

Hi Kat. I have just followed you back. :)
DeleteLOL. Yep, they are good reasons.
ReplyDeleteThanks for checking out my blog! Glad you liked it. :)
DeleteAll totally valid points!!! I also felt like a more valued member of the family once I was again contributing fiscally (which is completely ridiculous since I was on full pay for both my maternity leaves!!) Hope you enjoy the perks of being a working mum :) #FYBF
ReplyDeleteThanks Renee. I'm just hoping the perks outweigh the crappy parts of being a working mum! :)
Delete1. Getting dressed up every day. Not sure if I can go back to wearing heels though - flats are so comfortable!
ReplyDelete2. Similar to no. 1 - wearing make up
3. 45 minutes on the bus to/from work to just zone out.
4. Decorating my desk with photos of my kids and having people tell me how cute they are
5. Going shopping on my WHOLE HOUR lunch break
hmmm, that's all for now. I'm sure I'll think of more!
Claire,
DeleteI'm hearing you about the flat shoes! And shopping - on your own for a whole hour - that sounds divine!!!
P.S. Ever thought about writing your own blog?!
Oh, I just thought of another one: not having to clean up other people's wee, poo, vomit or blood!
ReplyDeleteLove it! That is of course... unless you are a nurse or a teacher! ;)
ReplyDeleteI was just trying very hard to silence the mini crunchie bar I had found at the back of the cupboard. Only my dog heard. I totally understand point 3. Rachel x
ReplyDeleteHi Rachel,
ReplyDeleteI can imagine a mini crunchie bar would be difficult to eat quietly - well done! :)
