Apologies for the delay...here I go...
I thouroughly wanted to enjoy the break but being in a joint family had few hiccups. Inlaws not letting me do anything.. saying kid will be effected.. for that matter even folding clothes wasnt permitted... n that really pissed me off... working all day and being independent was part of my life. And these restrictions just created cracks in the relations. Pre pregnancy mood swings really made me feel bad for few days as to WHY I QUIT! deep inside though was wanting it.
Few good friends n hubby support got a work from home opportunity... 2 hrs daily... n that made me happy... left to moms place and everything was in peace.
The closer the due date was hubby joined in. The company still gave me an option to continue part-time if I was interested. I backed up as I wanted to give all time to my baby.
Finally arrival of my Baby Girl and all happies... Time passed by...Wanted to start back work. But the very feeling of a new mum
. Who will takecare... will they give the same motherly love... i fed my baby from the min she was born... didnt have guts to formula feed her.. didnt want people to brand me a bad mum who was career oriented..
2 years passed by, started gathering guts to put her in a daycare and start. No companies were ready to offer a job as competition was tough and freshers accepting for a lower pay... i felt depressed but same time felt..GOD HAS GIVEN ME ANOTHER CHANCE TO ENJOY MY MOTHERHOOD

leaving kid for even some time makes us rush back to home... and joining back after baby needs lots of courage..

That's true. Suddenly stepping out of home...leaving small kid is big strong decision and I Salute working moms for that. I worst thing a woman will face is after baby...when they want to start, many companies won't take or want to take as freshers. How the world can be so creul and selfish...taking advantage like this. We have just taken break due to our duties and responsibilities... sick world!

I can totally relate to this, we have that zeal to start over again but all the doubts keep revolving around how our kid will manage without us, who will give the same amount of love and care in our absence, I just can't get over this feeling.
