Hi Ladies and a special welcome to Joyful!
Lately, I've been struggling with the desire to go back to work...I miss the adult conversation/mental stimuli and of course making my own money. I'm thankful to God that I can afford to stay at home, but have been a career person for 12 years prior to my wonderful Angelina, and I've been dealing with that struggle. But I'm so very thankful I can spend my day with my daughter.
Just wondering if any of you have had the same struggle? Also, I recently started posting my resume in search of part-time at home work, but it's a tough job market out there right now. Please help pray if it's God's will that I'll find a great job I can do from home. Thank you ladies! |

| Kell, I have the same struggle like you. My parents and friends said that it is a waste that I left my good income job and management position. I left my job because I dont have good foreign maid to look after my twins. We depend on foreign maids. I have changed several maids within 18 months since I gave birth to my twins. After much prayer, I left the company without feeling any regret. Now, I am a happy stay at home mother with my lovely twins whom I waited and prayed for 13 years since marriage. GOD is good. Yes he is our provider. However, many times I feel the same like you. I would like to go back to work and earn regular income but my husband do not allow me to. He wants me to take care of my twins. If you can find someone who is realiable to look after your daughter, my advise is that you go back to work. You will have my blessing. I pray that you will get a great full time or part time job. God bless you. |

| I understand your struggle. I was a teacher before children, but I didn't want someone else raising my kids, so we have made the sacrifices necessary for me to stay at home. It may be different if I lived near family and had a grandparent that could care for them, but we don't. I just keep thinking, "They are only little once!" Every precious memory that I make with my girls is worth it. I can always go back later. |

| Many people think like you. Your points are right. However, when they grow bigger, I could not imagine my children staying alone at home after school as you will be at work. Who is going to fix their meal? Watch them? And many more things which we are responsible for their development. Until today, I always pray that God will grant me wisdom for this kind of struggle. |
