“Need to go and get his hair cut…” I made a mental note as I run my fingers through his now obviously long hair. “But why Mommy?” “Oh no, I missed a question…” I inhale and look at him deeply. “Why what? Sorry I was just thinking you need a haircut soon.” “But why you have to go back to work?” Sigh… I tried to compose myself even as his messy hair is still between my fingers. “Because I have to make a living so I can pay for your school. So you could do after school activities…” and so I can add you to a health insurance coverage (I added this bit in my head). “Will you work out of town?” “No, Pumpkin. I will find something here.” “Ok…” he hugged me and I hugged him back tightly and told him I only ask that he study well in school and he behave well. “You know I love you and I will always be there for you, right?” “I love you Mommy…” and in the dimmed room I wiped my tears. The memory of his teacher’s reactions when I told her last year that I will be moving to Bali to pursue a career flashed before me. Back then, she told me that my son’s behavior in school has improved so much ever since I quit working. She was worried. And for the past few days I’ve been weighing all my options. Working from home through my writing is sadly not enough to cover everything we need, my son and I. Being a single mother, I am the sole breadwinner, and I have realized for months now how behind I am on getting his needs met. New school uniforms…thanks to my parents, that and my son has a brand new sturdy backpack for school this year from them. I was content working from home. I get to spend more time with my son; I am home when he gets home from school. We are happier. I didn’t have to get up around dawn to beat morning traffic. I am a happier single mother. So, I have decided to put my contentment aside, dust up my resume and started sending them out today. Hoping my old field of career will have an opening somewhere, somehow. He will be fine, I keep telling myself. My son understands that I need to do this not just for the obvious financial reasons but also to help me feel better about being productive again. How do you prepare your kid(s) when you go back to work full time? Any advice? This is an original post to World Moms Blog by Maureen from Scoops of Joy in Indonesia.

“An riachtanas is gá chun dul agus a fháil ar a ghearradh gruaige ..."Rinne mé nóta mheabhrach mar a ritheann liom mo mhéara trí chuid gruaige anois fhada léir. "Ach cén fáth Mamaí?" "Oh no, Chaill mé ceist ..."Inhale I agus ag féachaint ar air go domhain. "Cén fáth cad? Tá brón orm go raibh mé ag smaoineamh go díreach de dhíth ort haircut luath." "Ach cén fáth go bhfuil tú ag dul ar ais ag obair?" Osna ... rinne mé a chumadh féin fiú mar go bhfuil a chuid gruaige messy fós idir mo mhéara. "Toisc go bhfuil mé a dhéanamh i gcónaí mar sin is féidir liom a íoc as do scoil. Mar sin, d'fhéadfaí tú a dhéanamh tar éis gníomhaíochtaí scoile ..."Agus mar sin is féidir liom tú a chur le clúdach árachais sláinte (Chuir mé an beagán i mo cheann). "An mbeidh tú ag obair as baile?" "Níl, Pumpkin. Beidh mé ag teacht ar rud éigin a anseo." "Ceart go leor ..."Hugged sé liom, agus hugged mé ar ais go docht agus dúirt leis mé ag iarraidh ach amháin go bhfuil sé staidéar a dhéanamh go maith ar scoil agus iad féin a iompar sé go maith. "Tá a fhios agat Is breá liom tú, agus beidh mé a bheith ann i gcónaí ar do shon, ceart?" "Is breá liom tú Mamaí ..."Agus sa seomra dimmed wiped mé mo Tears.

Rachaidh mé a chaitheamh níos mó ama le mo mhac; Tá mé abhaile nuair a fhaigheann sé abhaile ón scoil. Tá muid sásta. Ní raibh mé a fháil ar bun ar fud breacadh an lae chun buille tráchta maidin. Tá mé máthair happier amháin. Mar sin,, Tá cinneadh déanta agam a chur ar mo sásamh leataobh, deannaigh suas mo atosú agus thosaigh a sheoladh amach iad sa lá atá inniu.
