It's not as if working ...Haha, that's true! It's not as if working is exactly a vacation! <br /><br />It does depend on your job I think, because when I was working I had certain tasks to complete, but was able to decide when/where/how to complete them and kind of create my own rhythm and schedule for the day for the most part. This is definitely not true with being at home with R (one of the things that makes it hard for me sometimes): even bathroom breaks have to be determined by her needs. I think that if you worked on an assembly line or something very regimented like that though, staying at home might seem so carefree!<br /><br />In Singapore I have seen baby yoga classes offered, though the timing/place has never worked out for us. Maybe they have something like that in the US, and then it's bonding time for both of you?Gracehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09570841904308934998noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7794836422803225879.post-74512527470541929122012-10-29T19:38:28.570+08:002012-10-29T19:38:28.570+08:00Do you like being a (temporary) SAHM?

I wonder if it's harder because everyone isn't used to it (and has a comfortable routine), or if it's easier because it's more "fun" (like a vacation)? <br /><br />In general I like change a lot, so I bet if I were a working mother I would want to be a housewife, just for variety's sake if for no other reason.

But my activities during those hours are not my own...but I guess at least they make me $$ :) and I do love my career so there's that. I really want some time to take yoga or Pilates, but that ain't happening. There aren't enough hours in the day...and even if there were more I think I'd choose to spend them with P (since ours are so limited right now)Kathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12589500389134078994noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7794836422803225879.post-68872586897680088942012-10-24T22:52:54.216+08:002012-10-24T22:52:54.216+08:00I am in my 5th week of my 12 week maternity leave ...I am in my 5th week of my 12 week maternity leave with #2, and this week I started keeping my older one home from daycare part time (she has stayed at daycare full time since #2's birth). It's an experiment in SAHM territory. It's funny how this small experiment thrills me (typically a full time working mom), and the prospect of returning to work next year excites you!
