We are waiting to adopt, and I am a professional who will not be a stay at home mom, though I plan to arrange my schedule to be at home as much as possible, and my husband will do the same.
We plan to hire a nanny to help us on weekdays, though my husband works from home part time and will be there, if not actively involved in the baby's care all day. I work just a few blocks away and can come home during the day for lunch or breaks.
I feel like I am alone in this, there are so many SAHMs in the adoption community...but I know I'm not, I'm just tired of being judged, tired of the assumptions that continuing my career is selfish, tired of feeling like people think I'm not going to be a good mother if I work outside the home.
Just needed to vent, and hope there are others out there who know how I feel. How do you handle the bad vibes from other people??
