Any advice on going back to work after being a stay-at-home mom?
July 9th, 2009
Any advice on surviving going back to work after being a stay-at-home mom for the last 10 months?
I haven’t worked full time in over a year. I’ve been a stay-at-home mom since I had our son. My time-management skills have really suffered. Although I am college-educated and career-minded, I am slightly lacking the self confidence needed to excel in my new job. Also, this will be the first time our 10 mo old son will be in daycare!
We are used to leisurely mornings centered around breastfeeding and making breakfast for my son. It will be so different having to rush around and be at work by 8am. How can my husband and I survive this time and not escalate our stress and our fighting and keep things calm at home for our son??

New mom – stay at home or back to work?
July 5th, 2009
I am a new mom and I am trying to decide between being just a stay at home or going back to work. How can I make money & keep my sanity if I do decide to stay at home? After all, in this economy, every little bit will help. With the new baby, I will sure have to spend more money on a daily basis. Here is my situation in case anyone has any advice.
I have a newborn baby boy at home. My husband and I are unsure of whether or not I should go back to work full time, part time, or stay at home. I am leaning towards staying home, as I do not want a nanny to raise my baby. If I do stay ay home though money will be very tight and I might also miss the adult interaction of work. Is it foolish for me to think that spending quality years with my son is more important than not having to worry about money??? I guess I am wondering:
1) if anyone has experience jumping into the world of being a stay at home mom, or
2) if anyone has any experience working from home?
Thank you in advance.
