my opinion on this is pretty much in aggreance with kim. i worked as a legal assistant for years prior to quitting for good 4 1/2 years ago to be with my yorkies 24/7. i could not handle the thought of being at work and having babies at home. my boss was a very understanding attorney who was a dog lover himself, and although he put up with alot from me ( i even took one of my girls to work with me once, in a law office, lol) he understood completely when i had to resign. he said he knew it was coming sooner or later. i know that some people can't do this, but i am lucky and have my husband who is a wonderful provider and never even sees his own money, lol, i snatch it up to take care of the house hold and the dogs way before he even gets to count it. he's used to it now, poor man. lol. some folks may do fine with a job and raising babies. i was able to do it myself for some time. however, emotionally i could not do it anymore so i made a huge life changing decision and never looked back. the way i look at it now is i work 1st, 2nd and 3rd shifts and i dont get weekends off or vacation. its tough. and with everything i'm going through emotionally in my life right at this moment, if i had a job outside the home, i'd surely be fired by the end of the week. so i guess we all do things differently and to the best of our abilities. |
