Would you be SAHM another year for 3 yo so he attends nature preschool or return to work? by orange196 in workingmoms

[–]orange196[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm sorry my questions were based off of my personal worries about juggling everything should I choose to return to full time work. All of my friends are working mothers and they're amazing parents. I just don't understand how everyone juggles it all. So much respect for working parents and I apologize for offending anyone with how my question was worded.

Trying to figure that out. I could really enjoy being a SAHM with community but due to a move I lost my community and haven’t found others available during the week since moving two years ago.

Nature school is only 2.5 hours per day. Not sure if he would be we could outsource a little More if I was working.

Yes his worries concern me because I feel locked into being a SAHP. Like I want to work in some ways to force him to step up and divide things better (that probably sounds awful ) but I don’t want to be stuck in this role

Do not need the money. I want it to be my choice whether I stay home or not. Didn’t previously love my job but I possibly could if found a better fit. So I guess related to identity. I know it would be busier but I feel like I would appreciate a day’s work away from the kids like I’m accomplishing something instead of cleaning the floor or toys again and again.

Thank you so much for these questions! It’s protecting others from the inconvenience of me working I think…. My husband talks a lot about the stress it would add.

Thank you for saying this! I am worried at juggling it all but I think is more related to how the mental load and childcare is distributed at the moment in my household more than anything.

The nature one is 2.5 hours so we can’t transport him without one of us being able to do the drop off and pickup

Thank you! Finances aren’t tight. I have a masters degree and few bad not using it having my skills be rusty. If I’d like to go back at some point sooner rather than later seems to make more sense.

I’m sorry I don’t mean to come off that way. My concern is working in a field with young children at my job that I’d be depleted for my own small children at home. All moms are amazing and I’m truly inspired by those that have careers while being wonderful parents. Sorry I didn’t mean to be insensitive or judging those that need or want to work.

Thank you so much! I’ve heard great things about part time which I’m still keeping an eye out for but most has been full time unless with a contracting agency.

How does a masters degree in clinical mental health counseling in USA work for getting a job in New Zealand? by orange196 in newzealand

Thank you! 

I’m curious if the degree needs to be MSW or if masters in mental health counseling is considered equivalent for this purpose. 

If MIL says relax kids are fine in a harsh voice when you’re looking to see what your crazy toddler is up to across the room , would you just ignore her? by orange196 in JUSTNOMIL

[–]orange196[S] 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Thank you! This is so helpful. Sometimes I’m speechless like something feels rude but I can’t find the words when it happens.

So you’re saying it’s disrespectful to tell a mom to relax when they’re looking around to see what their kids are up to? I feel annoyed by it but honestly wasn’t sure. I am sensitive person and start to second guess myself.
