Do any working mums-to-be feel like this?

Paws - totally understand where you are coming from on the buying a house front. We were thinking about doing the buying a house thing recently but when we thought about the prospect of me HAVING to go back to work after having baby (when I get pregnant of course) to afford a mortgage - we decided that it would be better for us to hold off playing the mortgage game till after we finish having a bubs and I am ready to go back to work. I don't think I would take lots of time off work but we don't want to be pressured to feel that I HAVE to go back. We haven't really made the whole home ownership thing a very high priority for us and have never felt the need to buy - strange as that may sound to some other people - but Paws - it's sooooo nice to hear of someone that seems to feel the same. Most people just give us lectures about wasting money etc etc etc etc but I think that if you aren't ready to do it, you just shouldn't
