...we could afford for me to be a stay-at-home mum. I LOVE being at home with Jamie. Yes, it can be tiring in that it's fairly full-on from 7am til he goes to bed, but I don't find it stressful in the same way as working. I manage to sit down and have a cuppa when he's having a nap, and at the moment he'll sit in his bouncy chair and watch while I do housework. We go out to baby groups, swimming and walks in the park...it's just great and I can honestly say I've never been happier than I am now.
The only cloud on the horizon is going back to work!! We think we can just about manage financially if I do 2.5 days a week, although things will be very tight. Our mums have offered to do childcare for those 2.5 days so we're very lucky there. I just need the school to agree to it. If they do, I think 2.5 days at work will be a good balance for me and I'll still get lots of time at home with Jamie.
