Yousra I haven’t had the chance to write anything for a few days. I probably just need to accept the reality of life with 3 kids under 5 will probably mean not being able to do the hobbies that I want as often as I want to.
I am still grateful for what I can do because I feel like I actually had less time when I was full time working.
Speaking of which, it is horrible looking for a job after being a full time mum for, what I would say, is a short period of time. Why do I feel like I need to hide being a full time mother to my babies.
I have had nothing but ‘so you haven’t worked at all?’, ‘why did you choose to leave work completely ‘ , not to mention my previous managers appalling change of behaviour towards me after becoming a mum.
I am very taken aback by the lack of acceptance of my circumstances , like there is anything unacceptable about it anyway.
Before any interview now, I am just stuck with whether to say anything or not and then I feel bad if I don’t.
I am looked down on for not working, then not given the opportunity to get back into work. This has become such a sad, money driven world.
