First week back at work

It s*cks being away from my DD. I really am amazed though when other women I talk to at work say things like "isn't this so much better than being home." I'm like "NO!". Am I crazy or just too in love with my DD? If I had a million dollars... wow, I'd be home with my girlie. I hardly even pay attention to what's going on around me... all I think about is DD.

Does it get easier? How?

Also, I found it odd that other women gave me looks like I was nuts when talking about having another one in less than 2 years. I'm not saying anything about our plans, b/c of this, but who's business is it anyway?

I am not back at work yet, but I am dreading it totally. People keep telling me I will love it once I am back, but I know I would stay home forever if I could afford it.Chat Icon

Re: First week back at work

I would stay home forever too... work is SO overrated... and I don't work a menial job. I make a very good salary, have a Master's degree and yet I don't care nor feel that I "deserve" something more b/c of the level of education... in fact all that did was increase my student loan debt. I sort of blame women of the past for this. More people working probably equated to more money in circulation in the 80's hence inflation and now most of us HAVE to work. So women went from having no choice but to stay home, to having no choice but to work. I know some are going to reply "I work b/c I want to", but that's not who I'm referring to... I'm referring to most of us like myself and the PP who would absolutely stay home given the opportunity.
