Any one go back to work early to get out of the house?

I have 9 months unpaid leave with DS.

But i am thinking of going back to work early to get out of the house?

Has anyone else done this

I'm going back in a week - after 7 1/2 months off - and am actually starting to look forward to the adult conversation. I never in a million years thought I'd feel like this. Not however looking forward to doing all the chores & being mum as well as full time work.

Yes, I went back to get out of the house (and because we needed the money). DH had quit his job. I really felt out of my depth being a stay at home mum. I was ready to go back to full-time work when DD was 4.5 months old.

Oh yeah. I went back one day a week when ds was 4 months old- ironically, I actually quit when he was 11 months altogether.... and now I miss it again!!

do all of you girls have a great job to go back to? my job was highly stressful. i know it would be beneficial to me to return to work for adult interaction but i am a SAHM. i love DD so much and love time with her. i would love to do a massage course but they are all $4000! i just wish there were cheaper ones out there. i so am not going back to law!

QB, my job was a little sad, but overall great fun. In fact, I can honestly say I had the best job I think I could ever get :)

I actually started a brand new job when I went back into the workforce. That was daunting! But it is closer to home than the job I was doing when I had DD and quit shortly after giving birth.
I do enjoy my job.

Im planning on taking at least a year off, dp works and if I go back to work a couple of days a week it just isn't worth it cause centrelink payments will go down and will have to pay for childcare too...im just worried being a SAHM will do my head in and I will start to resent my baby! Only 1 of my friends has kids and she works aswell so im worried ill be stuck at hm all day everyday without adult conversation :(
