Its a bit premature for me to say that I am a working mother. It's my 5th day back at work and my baby is still jet lagged. Also we the whole family are still sick with a nasty flu virus and cough caught in Canada that Hong Kong doctors don't know how to treat!
First of all I really miss the day times with the baby as he is typically the happiest and most alert. Will try when in town to go home at lunch times. Secondly while work is busy it's also not my dream job. There are several moments where I wonder why I am at work instead of home. Finally after a month in Canada without any child care help (sporadically relatives and parents or in laws play with Benjamin); I can appreciate more the consistency of full time nanny. Just another set of dedicated hands to help at home or with the baby is invaluable to our sanity. I got absolutely no rest and nothing accomplished in one month in Toronto! Shit weather, too much baby gear and not much help. Oh well! It still ended up being a happy holiday in the final two weeks when Stephen arrived!
Props to all the working moms. I may join your ranks officially soon.
