Hi,

I just wanted you to know that I have had numerous people asking me when I'm coming back to work, and a simple "I'm taking a year off work, and I'm not sure how things will pan out" is a simple, direct answer.
How can any of us first time mums really know what its going to be like? Financially it will be tough, but in our case we can get by by making heaps of sacrifices, so we are lucky.
Its really not anyones business what you want to do, and if you think you can work from home doing some things, great news - good for you.
There is nothing wrong with what you are proposing, and todays day, I think the ones who get to stay home are the lucky ones.
There is nothing wrong with CC, but I'm sure most mums would love to stay at home if they could.
Best wishes, and welcome to BB!
