Today i plucked up the courage and made my decision not to go bak to work.

My maternity leave was due to end next month and i decided that i cant bear to go bak to work and leave my DD in someone elses care. So i went to work and handed in my resignation.

It feels funny. i have had the same job for 6 years. sorta feel a little bit sad too. Doesnt matter now i have the best job in the entire world. And no pay packet would ever compare to the rewards i will get with being with my DD all the time.

Good for you!!:smiliedance:
I did the same thing a couple of months ago,just couldn't bear having to go back to work,so with 2 weeks to go before my maternity leave ran out I went and told my boss of 15 years.He took it rather well.:D
You are right,we do have the best jobs in the world.:thumbsup:

Good onya Claire:smiliedance: if that's what you feel is the right choice for you and your bub! I worked in child care for a long time, and my plan was to take my little boy back to work with me at the centre when he was 8 months old. I just couldn't do it, even though I was gonna be there (in another room). He is almost three now and I am still happy about my decision.....these precious little people will be gone forever in a few years IYKWIM!

No job in the world can compare to being a SAHM or WAHM. My eldest is now 7 and at school and I am grateful every day that I was here at home with him whilst he grew. Same with DD and again now with our DS#2. I fluff around making a dollar here and there from home and am satisfied with that-I couldn't begin to imagine putting any of my bubs into full time care. I am privileged to be in this position!:D

:yelclap: Congrats!!! :yelclap:

... that's a decision I'll be needing to make myself in the coming months (after being in my job for 11 years). We all know that being a mum is such a rewarding job, but being a SAHM can still be such a big decision to make ... best of luck to you all!
