I have a five month old daughter who i love to pieces, but I miss working. I cant go back because my child refuses a bottle, so I figure it will be another 6 months before I can work again part time. i just miss being an adult sometimes and thinking about more besides baby and housework and cooking...anyone else?

I miss work heaps....I love being at home with my son, but I need more interaction with adults during the day...the worst thing is I live in a remote area, so there aren't any jobs around for me to take. I feel so useless and that my brain could be used for other things instead of the washing and ironing...Just try and enjoy being home...I know its easier said than done.....I'm here for a chat if you need it...

Honey, I stayed home with my three babies until my youngest was three and I started working a half a day at my kids' school. Your time will come to return to work, but please enjoy your babies right now. They are only little for so long. I lost my oldest son in an accident ten years ago so I am so thankful that I spent so much time with my kids. They are precious and grow up too fast as it is. My daughter and my youngest son have also left home to pursue their own lives. They know that Mom has always been there for them their whole life. I know it's hard to balance them and yourself, but you will. It's all within each and every one of us, if there's a will, there's a way. You'll get more organized as time goes on, it will all be worth it. Good luck.

Most deffinitly ! My son is almost a year and I just started working part time again. But as bad as you miss being an adult, once you do go back to work....all you'll be able to think about is your daughter. And you probably will miss out on new things or cute things that she does. You'll have time to work once she starts school. That might sound like a long way off right now, but it's really not.

I have the same issue. My son will not take a bottle. (I am, however, having better luck with a sippy transition cup.) I stay at home and my husband is in the military, so we just moved to New Jersey near Philadelphia where I don't know anyone. My family is so far away...and my best friend is in Texas, which might as well be Mars! I can't bare the thought of leaving my son with strangers, but I wish I could just have some "me" time. I am so isolated from everything these days. It's starting to get me down! My husband works twelve hour days, so it's hard on him to come home to me pinging off the walls. Obviously, he wants to just rest. Anyway, I am going to try a "Mommy and Me" class at a local baby gym. It's a way to get us out of the house for breif periods of time. I think it will be healthy for both of us. Hang in there! I think staying at home is one of the hardest jobs you can have, and the most selfless! You're doing a great job!

I love being a stay-at-home mother (I have two kids (2), and 7 months) Anyway, I am studying to be a medical transcriptionist. I am debating whether or not to work at home or stay with the kids, or put them in the hospital's daycare and then work at the hospital. I miss work in some ways, and in some ways I don't.

I do miss work, but more just for the socialization aspect of being around other adults. I do not miss the hectic schedule and commute, not to mention paying for daycare. I'm surprised by your statement that your child refuses a bottle; you'll have to wean her sooner or later (you can't nurse forever) so why not start now when her temper is a little more easily managed? Good luck in whatever you decide to do, I think working part-time is a great idea.

Yes! I use to be a Regional Trainer, and traveled the world, now I just stay home. Don't get me wrong I love my Son very much, but I miss work.

Yes. My daughter is almost 4 months and I miss the people I worked with. But I worked third shift while I was pregnant and I cant do that now. I dont really miss working, just the people. Mainly the only people I see are my baby and boyfriend. All I do is take care of baby, cook, clean, and laundry.
