hi girls,

I'm thinking of resigning from work. I have worked throughout my years with pregnancy and children, studied too. I'm a midwife, currently working night shift part time. While this doesn't directly impact on my time with the kids, it does, IYKWIM. I am always tired. If I work ND my DH has to leave late and therefore he gets home late too and I feel as though I haven't seen him for days on end. My workplace has been so good to me over the years and I feel as though I am letting them down when I have to call in sick for the babies (specifically Ivy).

I'd love to hear from other Mums who have worked with kids and then decided it would be better for all concerned to be a SAHM. It's a weird feeling and a confusing place to be for me, who has always had the required time off and then gone back after a baby.

My heart is just not in it though and as Ivy and Noah are my last babies, I guess I want to be there for them for as long as possible.
