The other day I was cuddling him and I said "How about you stay four years old forever?" and he said "I can't mummy, because that would be a fairy tale and this is not a fairy tale." Made me laugh but I also wanted to cry.aecusackhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04419009112013638540noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2075858460867483977.post-62185043863994687062010-11-22T00:03:26.408+00:002010-11-22T00:03:26.408+00:00I can only imagine how hard it will be, but I will...I can only imagine how hard it will be, but I will say you do seem to have the best of both worlds--the ability to get some time away (hopefully you will look forward to it in a totally loving way--I think you know what I mean) but also just super excited to be back home taking care of them again. I so hope it all works out for you!lastchanceivfhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14139576318784337837noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2075858460867483977.post-11463879438324998832010-11-20T21:45:33.150+00:002010-11-20T21:45:33.150+00:00No matter how much time you've had off for mat...No matter how much time you've had off for maternity leave, going back is hard for exactly the reasons you stated--they're not all yours anymore. I also don't have any words of advice. I cried last January when I dropped P off at the babysitter for the first time and I cried this year when I first left him with DH after summer vacation ended. But it does get better. You and they adjust to the new reality. You really do.

It sounds like you actually have a plan that will serve the children and your family well. But that doesn't mean it doesn't suck. I waited until I was 40 to have my first kid because I knew I wouldn't be able to balance work and motherhood. Now I fantasize about working part-time. And when someone asks me, "when will you go back to work," I think "the day they stop taking naps is the day I go back to work."Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2075858460867483977.post-32732493540041400482010-11-20T12:54:23.245+00:002010-11-20T12:54:23.245+00:00We are the same about the weather here in South Af...We are the same about the weather here in South Africa, mainly on the lookout for sun, sun and more sun :)<br /><br />You'll enjoy getting your brain stretched at work but don't like I did, do baby sign language "no" to your co-workers.

What a wonderful arrangement! And I totally understand your sadness. I don't work unless I want to doing violin teaching/playing or photo gigs, and it is exhilerating in those times to get away and use my brain in a different way. And when I come back there's no place I'd rather be. I am guessing it will be similar. You'll enjoy both.<br /><br />But I am uber posessive about my progeny as well.
