fortyish australian, lives in terraced house in north london with a 4 year old and a feisty but fading goldfish. reads far too many 'mommyblogs'. misses sunshine and blue skies and twisties. addicted to reading actual books, sleeping and the scent of roses in other people's gardens.

Working
So, as a part-time working mother, I find myself envious of the social lives of both mothers who are at home full-time, and women working full-time. But I know it would be worse if I worked full-time!
I am a stay at home mom. And I find it very hard. At times I thrive for an intelligent conversation. I just recently started going back to college. And it is so nice to talk to adults. With my husbands work schedule it's hard to have a nice conversation through the week. I do think it is worth staying at home with the kids when they are young. But there are days it's challenging and I think to myself "a full time job would be easier" But they are only little for so long!
