Its going to be almost 1.4 years that I decided to leave my job and stay at home with pari. Back then, she was just 4 months old baby. Now she is 1 year 7 months and 25 days ...Kids grow fast , or time flew so fast like a blink of the eye.
These days a big question comes every now and then in my mind, if I should start thinking to go back to work. This going back is going to be little difficult and time taking as the job hunt will be from scratch along with a title of 'sabbatical of 1.5 year' . Its not like i am financially in need of job, its just like sometimes i feel empty and question myself for my career and identity. Being a mom is no where less than the greatest asset of my life and I really really rejoice it in every moment of my life, but when I think about me, somewhere I feel myself lost, may be an identity crisis.
Everyone in my immediate family feels that I am spoiling my career now. Its high time I should think about it. Pari is grown up enough, and has her grandparents who are so attached that I dont need to think even for a second before handing her to them.While S is of the opinion that what is the need to work, Pari needs mumma more. So its kind of chaos in my head to decide or think on how to proceed. Somewhere I feel its my job to start teaching her, it should not be like she may lag behind other kids. It should not be that I repent on later my decision to join work again. Not to forget that still I make her eat her meals and milk.
The major facts which needs my attention are:
Am I ready to leave Pari for the whole day away from me and my eyes.
Is this right time to go back to work, or should I wait till she is 2
Should I focus more on educating her, rather than focusing on my career
I am so out of words to write anymore. Hopefully will update this one soon.Till then reader's valuable comments are most awaited by a confused mom !!
