i've not had a kidlet yet, but my intention is to go back to work part time to retain my job more than anything! i'm in the public service, the conditions are fantastic, flexibility is amazing, so as much as i'm fighting tooth and nail to get pregnant and have a child, i will still return to work as i know, when that child is at school, i would go stir crazy without working - and my job is one i'd return to everytime... (flexibility means i can basically drop kidlet at school, go to work, be at school to pick them up so it's worth it for me)
