I was on sick having lots of plastic surgery operations before I fell pregnant. In fact I was due the last op in april was a tummy tuck but found out in the feb I was 16 weeks pregnant.

Anyways.. I have been out of employed work for sooooooooo long! Literally nearly 2 years. Mylo is 4 months old.. and I have applied for a job working in the CCTV room for the local council.
I feel I HAVE to apply and get it as OH looks down on me having sooo much time off. He said that we have lived in eachothers pockets and cos I didnt go out much he had no time to himself and thats why we went on a downward spiral with the relationship. Anyways fixin that score now.. but in the meantime.. I applied for this job cos I feel that he wants me back in work asap.
At this point I should just say that I have income from renting out rooms in my property and selling things online. My partner has NEVER had to support me or provide for me. I have always paid my half of everything even when I wasnt employed or earning a guaranteed wage.

Do others go back to work so early? If I am honest I would like more time with Mylo before I get back into a job.. even though its only 16 hours a week.. we dont have family around us or friends.. only his mum and shes held Mylo all of 3 times in 4 months since hes been here and dont think she would be confident enought to look after him if OH was at work and so was I.

I feel I am being pushed into work early cos I want out relationship to work and I know he wants me back in work.. and in reality.. being at home all the time in quite boring- back a year ago I thought I would enjoy being a lady of leisure but I dont and would be nice to get out now and again. And the job I have applied for doesnt come up very often.
I have made it quite clear to OH that IF I dont get it I wont be looking for anything else. I dont really need to be employed to get by.
But on the other hand want him to be proud of me if I got it cos then it would do well in repairing the relationship.

Do you think its selfish of him implying me getting back into work so soon after Mylos birth is the best idea in the world?
What if his mum cant look after Mylo.. and to pay child care will probably be more than what I will be earning?

I dunno what replies I want to this.. I just wanted to get it off my chest.:hugs:
 
I went back to work when Josh was 12 weeks because I HAD to. If I didn't have to and had an income from not going to work, like you, I probably wouldn't of gone back so soon.

As for you OH, you have a job at home looking after your baby, I wouldnt push myself into a job I wouldnt enjoy just to keep him happy.
