    At airport on way to Sydney two nights two days only this time, happy to be going because is good for me work wise but seems more often I travel the harder I find leaving - suppose is because is less exiting time and meals on my own the more I do it. Oh and starting work at 7:00 am tomorrow means no lie in and hotel breakfast :-) Kids didn't even notice me go too engrossed in playschool. DD had helpfully NOT unpacked my bag and put on my work shoes and shirt "I just wanted to be like you mummy and go to work" - she is so interested in my work these days - I am making her a play warehouse.

    Hi Ladies,

    Wondering if I can join you in here? I have been back at work firstly when DS was 6 months old, was made redundant end of March but only had 5 weeks off as I temped until I started a new position 2 1/2 weeks ago. The new position has turned out to be really ordinary but I was contacted yesterday by a company to interview with them thursday night. I am going to go and have a chat with them and see what happens.

    DH only works part time but DS is in full time daycare as at least that way he definitely gets fed and supervised. I loved my job and hopefully can find something I enjoy just as much. I am a much better working mum than stay at home mum.

    Forgot to update here. New job prospect not looking good. They just made a bunch of ppl redundant. I'm assuming that's a no then. Bum out coz I want to work with the ppl. Not phased abt the company that much. But now that the ppl's gone. Kinda pointless even if the job is offered. Oh well. At least I didn't quit this one yet.

    I still hate my office with a passion I've taken last 2 days off cause I just can't bring myself to go.

    I feel like I'm wasting my time. I'm not challenged and I'm sitting around 8 hours a day twiddling my thumbs and shuffling paper.

    There is just nothing in my industry at this time of year maybe I should just find an admin job

    Hi ladies,

    just joining in,

    I am a working mum too. I was Full-time till I had DD1, and then had some mat leave and then went back to work part time, and have been back at work part time again now for a few months after DD2. Really not liking work at present, it's not the being a mum thing either its the stupid politics at work! hoping I win lotto soon.......

    Nutter I realise your question was probably directed at BD and Veus but I am curious about everyone else too, what does everyone else do? I'm a Team Leader at a Telco - I look after our Hardship program. Rewarding and busy!

    I'm having a slight regression with regards to coping with work/family, I'd hit my groove quite nicely but this week am missing the kids a lot. It's DDs first birthday in a few weeks and I think that milestone is making me regretful of the time I am missing with her, and DS is always a little upset when he realises its a work day for me. 11 more weeks till I am part time again when DH goes back to work - while I dont want to fast track his time with the kids I really cant wait to get more time back with them
