Drawing a line


After a series of events recently, I've decided not to go back to work and become a full time mummy instead. It wasn't a difficult decision at all really, I think becoming a mother changes you in ways you could never imagine. All I have to do is look at my ever changing little boy and I know I could never leave him.

We had a really rough night last night and I am not stressed at all, because I know we can eventually nap later and make it up, but if I was working full time I would be really moody now and resenting Edward. This would have changed our relationship.

I would have had to rush his breakfast and getting him dressed, even if he was crying. Argue with Charlie, this would be inevitable because we would both be stressed. Then if we were running late, we would have had to rush Edward to nursery with hardly any time to kiss him goodbye for the day. This would break my heart but I would have been so exhausted. Then I would be making silly mistakes at work and have my boss breathing down my neck about that also.
Yes, we've made the right decision!

I worry about money and surviving on one wage, what happens if my husband loses his job, how would we cope? I am going to try and be frugal with money, this isn't a skill I have at the moment, so I'm looking for some inspiration.

Things I do to save money

Use reusable nappies
Walk everywhere
Shop for food online
Breastfeed
