		<description>Life happens.I think we as mum have given ourselves too much to strive for and the guilt we feel is unfounded on what we think we should be as a mother.Don&#039;t beat yourself up about it.Your entitled to feel happy and if that means going back to back, then so be it.</description>

		<description>Oh, my dear, this is a most wonderfully candid post.

As I read I see that you have been in turmoil over that classic tug of war for mothers: staying home or going back to work.

I strongly believe that you are a good mother. Truly. Now you have realized that along the way, you have lost a lot of love...for yourself and your needs.

Going back to work will NOT make you a bad mother. Nor will your children suffer as mothers are wont to believe. It will take a period of adjustment, but it will work out for all once the kinks are smoothed.

Your invigoration at being alive and part of the larger world will end that gnawing fear and ennui you have tamped down for too long.

Once you are truly happy with yourself and your choices, then the rest may fall into place with Mr.

Sending you lots of love. You always make me so happy that I found you.</description>

		<description>you are as i ahve said before, the manager of your own life. Only you can make the right and wrong decision. I believe you are grounded enough to make the decision that will fulfil you and your family. I wish you and your husband all the love that you deserve and i know that you beautiful babies will never remember this giltch,but will look back on a happier mummy and settled daddy.xx</description>
