I feel incredibly lucky that we had Thea at the same time as Richard got this promotion. It means that we dont have to worry about money and being here in Hungary has meant that we can save almost his entire monthly wage ass everything is paid for us. When we go home we will be in a much better financial position than we ever thought we would be. We were also lucky that we bought our house when we were much younger almost 9 year ago so we got it really cheaply and when we sell it this year its now valued at 4 times what we paid. Because we are going back to England on another promotion it means at home we'll be ok for me to be at home too.
I love spending everyday with Thea its wonderful watching her grow. I do worry that she doesnt spend enough time with other children though. We go to a play class spoken in English and to a couple of play centres with our friend but id love to have more to take her to so maybe going back to England wont be too bad!
If I had to go out to work for the good of my family which is what you working mums do then i would. I have a lot of repsect for you, you are working to provide a good life for your family, thats important and you should be proud that you are trying to give the best you can to your kids.
