As I prepare to return to work (sigh…), I’ve found myself pondering a few rather pressing questions in these final weeks of maternity leave. Here’s a glimpse into my thoughts:
- Would it be socially acceptable to launch a GoFundMe or Kickstarter campaign to support my dream of being a stay-at-home mom? Honestly, would anyone chip in?
- At what point during a workday is it okay to pour a glass of wine? Additionally, how harmful is it to sip wine throughout the day while breastfeeding?
- With a two-month-old constantly nursing, how much work can I realistically accomplish? Is it inappropriate to hop on a Google Hangout while my little one is latched on?
- Is it permissible to remain in pajamas and skip showers all day while managing a full-time job, caring for an infant, and juggling preschool drop-offs and pick-ups?
- Can I survive on just four hours of sleep each night and still function well at work, while also caring for an infant and my preschooler?
- What are my chances of hitting the lottery jackpot so I can enjoy financial independence?
- How crucial is owning my own home? Could I actually make it work if I sold everything and moved my husband and two kids in with my parents to eliminate mortgage stress and become a stay-at-home mom?
- Is it crazy to consider selling all of my belongings, quitting my job, and buying an RV to travel the country with my family?
- How absurd would it be to sell everything, quit my job, and buy one-way tickets to Fiji to live there with my family, all in pursuit of being a stay-at-home mom?
- Can my husband and I really make it work living in a small, humble abode so I can transition to being a stay-at-home mom?
- Is it realistic to think I could finish my book in just four days, get it published, and score a big payout to avoid going back to work?
- And lastly, the burning question that’s been consuming my thoughts: Why are maternity leave policies in America so inadequate for working moms? It’s infuriating!
