Yet after three months of maternity leave, I was dying to hand him off to my trusty daycare provider and go back to work! <br />But admitting you look forward to time away from your child is sacrilegious, judging from the reaction I get from people. So I've stopped telling the truth. When people say, "Oh, you must hate going to work," I just say what they want to hear: "I miss him terribly, stare at his photos all day, and look forward to picking him up every day." Which is 100% true. But I always knew that staying at home wouldn't be good for me. I think some moms enjoy it more than others. I love to have him all to ourselves on the weekends, but by Monday morning I'm ready for a break.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22858476.post-53251048012516186642012-01-17T21:00:24.542-08:002012-01-17T21:00:24.542-08:00I will be joining you in the world of 2 offspring ...I will be joining you in the world of 2 offspring this July. While we haven't been snowed in, my 17-month old daughter and I have been (mostly) stuck at home sick for the past....oh, forever, I think? Or week. She's just entering that phase in which the laws of physics piss. her. off. <br /><br />Anyway, ramble, ramble, I hear you.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
