    Yep. I was an assistant teacher in a four year old classroom at the day care I worked in. I actually started working there right when I found out I was pregnant.

    Before then I was a floater/teacher in another day care. But we moved so I had to obviously quit that one.

    I was a web and graphic designer.

    A child can be equally demanding as any job in the world. Do not regret it, my son is the best thing I ever ‘created’. LOL

  12. Hannah's mommy says:

    Yes, I was a special education teacher for 8 years before being a SAHM. I had Hannah in February, and took the rest of the school year off. I *thought* I still wanted to work, so the following school year I taught part-time (2-3 days a week). I didn’t like that so much, so now I am a full time SAHM.

    I do miss teaching though. I was granted another year of leave for the 2009-2010 school year. I *may* go back part time in 2010-2011 school year…who knows!

    I was special ed assistant for 5 years at a middle school. I loved it. But for right now being home with my 2 and half year old and two month old is more important. Maybe I will go back to work after they get older in the same job or something similar.

    Yes, I was the best wallpaper hanger around for almost 10 years, and my back and neck suffered from it. So I quit and went to school to become certified in massage therapy. I now stay at home everyday except friday. After the kids were born, I scaled back, and Mama takes them for me on Fridays so I can still make a little money.

  17. Mommy of Thomas & Brody says:

    Yes, I’ve always worked full time.

    I was a infant/toddler teacher at a daycare center. I worked until I was 3 months pregnant with my oldest son. Then I quit the daycare and went to school full time for office administration. I got my associates degree when Thomas was 1 year old, and went to work full time as an administrative assistant.

    Then I stopped working when he was about 3-31/2 due to being pregnant with Brody and not being able to afford daycare for two kids.
