VP1 you're assuming she doesn't? Or, if she doesn't, that she wants one. Hello 2018.
Me too... and it's finally happening :) Hear you on the working forever part 😔
Do you not want to be a stay at home mom or can you not afford to? My wife hated being home on maternity leave, she was bored to death and happy to go back to work. It’s not for everyone, just do what works for you.
Want to grab a coffee and talk about how we'd like to raise our kids?
Being a stay at home mom isn’t nearly your only option. Most children grow up with day care. It’s generally great for the child
Congratulations SR2!
There’s no assumption She says “get married” so that’s a strong indication that a partner fits somewhere in that equation. I’m saying she should put the emphasis on that part of the problem.
You’re totally over thinking it VP1. I’m the biggest “marry for love” person you’ll (never) meet! I was prompted to post that because it was a Friday night, probably past 12am and I was scrolling through Fishbowl posts meanwhile there are tons of babies on my IG Explore page 😩. “Fuck all this shit” is to all the pointless stuff I feel like so many of us have to deal with on a regular basis. It means nothing to a person (like me) who would really love to have a meaningful relationship and planning a wedding or to have a kid instead of being pissed off at the continuous bullshit that happens at work. 😔
Be careful what you wish for. 👶🏻
It’s not always greener on the others side you have no life with kids either yes it’s rewarding but it’s also exhausting and it’s not fir everyone so be careful what you ask for you may not like it.
I felt like that for a long time and then the clock stopped banging in my ears. I feel like I work to do the stuff I want to do now instead of that empty feeling. I found a fulfilling side hustle and channel all that “fuck this shit" energy into positive work in that area.
Ok.
EVP1 I’d be bored out of my mind!
OP, I know lots of women who were definitely coming back to work after maternity leave...and opted to stay home. Because they realized that work really sucked ass...they were a prisoner to it, and there was plenty of reward in staying home. Some started a home-based business, or worked part-time, etc. And unfortunately, lots of the moms who come back do it cause they need the income...not because they want to. Of course, some really do love working and give their lives to their agencies. But then they hit 50 and are tossed aside for younger, cheaper, fresher talent. Such is life.
Well once you go back to work people treat you different and expect you have to leave early to pick up the baby or that you won’t be available to work weird hours on hot projects... so yeah you get the worst of all of it— don’t get to be with your new baby, and get treated like a second class citizen at work. I highly recommend marrying for money. Jk sort of.
You’re kind of glossing over the “find a true partner in life to fall in love with” part of that equation. Maybe if you focused on that instead of “get married, have kids, and stay home” it would come more naturally
@R/GA don't knock it till you try it.
