Hugs Tiggy... I am one of those mums that decided to leave the workforce and be a full time mum. I know how draining nd is - I too studied, worked and did it all so it didn't impact on my kids. Last year I decided that enough was enough. I LOVE IT!!!

I am fortunate that DH has a well paid job - but the down side is I don't like not earning my own money. DH never makes me feel like that but I feel like it! I have always worked and therefore earned - that takes some getting used to.

I still dabble here and there but now I do what I want on my terms.

Give it a try Tiggy - maybe take a leave of absence and see how you go...
