I’ve worked since I was 16, and full time after graduation. Now that I’m having a baby i will take a career break for at least 2 years, or untill my child goes to full time nursery but while I am gonna have that time off i’m already thinking about home study and extra courses i can fit in and hubby can look after the baby one evening a week. I wanna learn italian, expand myself in my career by utilising my time when the baby priorities have been met, BUT my first priority will be my child so hence I DO think it’s important to take that time off.
I mean i don’t want anyone else bringing my child apart from me and hubs and hell yeah i’m gonna be a ‘freeloader’ for a few years but thank God my husband doesn’t think like that and it’s like he’s the man who has to provide for us whether i work or not. Ultimately I will go back to work because I don’t want to sit at home like a lazy bum while my kid is at school, I mean where’s the attraction in that? How much shopping/gym/coffee could I do everyday?
Good girl. I’m probably going to do the same. Or at least move to part-time when I have babies and expect him to take care of the baby part-time as well. Depends on his job, as I don’t believe I’ve met him yet.
