Thanks to you wonderful ladies and co-mommies (to-be)for your insightful comments and suggestions and sorry that I have not been able to reply to them. Figured that a collective reply in the form a follow up post would make more sense and here it is.
Just this last week, hubby had to be out of town for 3 nights. So I was on my own with Naman from 5 to 9 those nights. I did enjoy being with him the whole time. But extending that time to 24*7, hmmm, maybe not that fun. He needs a break from me and I need a break to be "myself". I see that he is perfectly fine to be away from us during the day, in fact he is super thrilled to say hi to nanny in the morning. At the same time, he gets restless and fidgety if his Pappa is even a few minutes late in the evening. Apparently, he has clear expectations and has his daytime schedule sorted out.
Frankly, I do not have the heart to quit my job, not at this point. As Gita pointed, I would miss the excitement and adrenaline rush of meeting deadlines. I would miss socializing on a day-to-day basis. More than anything else, I realize that I do not have the temperament to be a Stay-at-home-mom. Just loving your kid is not enough for this job. I lack enough patience, self-discipline for taking up this. So for now, life goes on as is.
But Ma, come soon!!
