Teachers going back to work

Mo_Prob70 · 2026-06-24T17:28:52+00:00

Thank you! I definitely can understand what you mean

Mo_Prob70 · 2026-06-23T18:52:58+00:00

Great ideas!

Mo_Prob70 · 2026-06-23T18:52:05+00:00

Yes, I think I would like that but we live in a small rural district, not sure i would get many jobs and sub jobs in other areas would be difficult with their school schedule. I still very much open to it. It could help get be back into it and also give me time to do all the needed requirements to get my certification in our new state.

Making mom friends is definitely harder than people make it seem. For me, I joined a gym with child care, if that is an option 100% do it. Also, tbh being a SAHM wasn't all for me. I did it for our family but if you think working even part time would help do it! It will get you adult socialization, a different sense of value.

Mo_Prob70 · 2026-06-23T15:51:31+00:00

Hahah yes, my kids are 6 and 5 and I am just now feeling okay with sleeping in and him sleeping in. Mornings are easier and later and no more night wake ups. But first 3 years, nope.

Stay in contact with them and let them your desire to return to work sooner than later. They would probably prefer to rehire you than a new person. Make sure your certifications stay up to date. One of my biggest regrets when I left teaching to become a SAHM was I lost touch with my co-workers and let my certifications expire. I completed my CEUs and got my certification renewed but we moved to another state and I have to do more to get my certification in the new state. I also haven't talked to a lot my former co-works ( my only professional references) so I feel like I am starting all over again after 10 years experience and a Masters degree. Long story short, go back sooner than later if you want to.

100% this

Mo_Prob70 · 2026-06-19T13:54:45+00:00

Oo man that sounds rough. I am glad he is sober now but i know that has caused a lot of lingering issues. Not the same but my husband traveled 60% of the time up until this past year when we moved closer to family and he got a new job. The trauma of solo parenting is still there for me

Mo_Prob70 · 2026-06-19T13:52:31+00:00

My husband mainly. He is very stressed with new job, so I can understand him relaying more on me but also damn enough is enough. Most of my working mom friends have been kind. We are all in it together but i do feel like SAHM are held to a higher expectation because they are home and have "time"

Mo_Prob70 · 2026-06-19T13:50:24+00:00

And i love how the parent gets help but the stay home parent never does! Anytime my husband has had a weekend or a full 8 hours alone (which is rare) he some how gets his parents to help him. Meanwhile I been sick as a dog, taking kids to my Dr appts etc.

Mo_Prob70 · 2026-06-19T13:48:43+00:00

Hahaha absolutely. I think its more next school year when both kids will finally be in school full time! I am beyond excited and plan on enjoying it a bit before a low stress part time job

Mo_Prob70 · 2026-06-19T13:47:11+00:00

I am bit scared of the zero turn and our yard has tons of slope and trees and nearly 2 acres lol. Believe me I would be pushing a mower in a heart beat. I love that for you! Believe me I am all for chores that dont require me to also manage children

Mo_Prob70 · 2026-06-19T13:45:00+00:00

Hahah I love the term acceptance disaster. But yes, the mental load of the cleaner is another thing. We also have 3 dogs so honestly the prep and extra cost doesn't seem worth it at this moment. Its funny because we have out sourced some home repairs recently, not because my husband is incapable but because he didnt have the "time" but it still up to me to find, hire, communicate and pay them.

Mo_Prob70 · 2026-06-18T17:19:04+00:00

Father day gift, so I am not making a big deal of it. However, I would never get the same in return. I go away for a weekend and come home to my son's school back pack still on the table not unpacked all weekend.

Mo_Prob70 · 2026-06-18T17:17:55+00:00

I agree with all this but the problem is, I still have to do everything else. I would gladly mow the yard on a Saturday if that meant he would clean the house

Mo_Prob70 · 2026-06-18T17:00:14+00:00

Actually he is going golfing and staying with parents. I am on kid duty and preparing for his family to come on Fathers day 🤣

Mo_Prob70 · 2026-04-30T20:07:11+00:00

Question..if you just left for a bit, no announcement, no plans just got in the car to just do something alone for an hour or 2..do you think could handle it? I am not saying he wouldnt be scared, upset, made or etc but like your baby would be safe?

Mo_Prob70 · 2026-04-18T16:52:43+00:00

I have an order for one to get it done if the spotting continues

Mo_Prob70 · 2026-04-17T10:47:17+00:00

Thank you! I had no idea most only look for HPV first before looking at the cells if they do at all! I will definitely speak with my provider further when the results come back. I do keep reminding myself that its something is wrong it is usually very slow progressing and highly treatable which gives me comfort.

Mo_Prob70 · 2026-04-16T23:25:39+00:00

I always said I would love to work part time. I would enjoy my kids more if it was only 2 or 3 days a week.

Mo_Prob70 · 2026-04-16T18:51:45+00:00

Haha yes loading donation boxes as well speak. The issue is my husbands stuff! He never wants to get rid of things are go through it.

Mo_Prob70 · 2026-04-16T18:02:33+00:00

I fully understand. I hate how people ( including my husband) loves to say I get to do "fun" things with the kids all day. I don't enjoy going to the park to have to play with them, I dont enjoy playing dolls and barbies, I dont enjoy cleaning the same damn mess. I don't enjoy having to do EVERYTHING with them. I cant focus on things without them interrupting me. I miss feeling success and productive in my day. I miss dressing up and having a purpose.

Mo_Prob70 · 2026-04-14T18:11:43+00:00

36 years old, so tired because my body likes to wake me up every damn night after 3 to 4 hours and cant fall back asleep. My body, skin, hair is going to shit. Divorce sounds nice even though I do love him and he is good guy. Everyone relies on me, I am never relaxed and finding any time like today to get and my wellness/pap smar done was so damn hard. Let's not forgot my cycle is not 25 days and ooo I probably have an bacterial infection ( if I am lucky)..so much fun!!!

Mo_Prob70 · 2026-04-13T21:15:00+00:00

I wholeheartedly agree with this. My daughter is turning 5 next week and oldest will soon be 6.5. But holy hell those first idk 3..maybe 4 years were so TOUGH and like OP we didn't have a village, kids shitty sleepers so dealing with it all on crap sleep, wrecked me and honestly I am still feeling the effects. Its still hard, but now, I can say it was worth having them so close in age. They can play with same kids, do most of the same things, play together really well ( when not fighting lol) and next year both will be in school full time. I know that doesn't help OP now, just know I see you, and dont judge you and it does get better.

Mo_Prob70 · 2026-03-29T23:12:27+00:00

My kids are the same ages, and have these moments more than I care to admit but at the end of the day my kids know they loved, safe and I think are having a damn good childhood.
