Why did you return to work?

[Willow]

With DD it was purely financial, we'd just brought a new house. This time around we are in a much better position financially, but I have to (guiltily ) admit that I'm looking forward to going back for a bit of a break and time away from home, something I don't get much of at the moment. Feel so bad saying that because I always said I wouldn't go back after #2 but things change I guess...having two has been more challenging than I thought it would be and we have very little family support, DH works 12 hour days so it's really just down to me for the most part. The other thing is, having done it once before, I know it's not too bad and that I WILL actually survive leaving my beautiful baby

Having said all that, I only work 2 days a week and wouldn't consider going back more than that any time soon, I want to be at home most of the time. Maybe when the kids are both in school, unless we have another before then.
