   could we please have a separate thread for those of us who want to talk about being full time working mums with bubbas - as in the original Guilty working Mums club we started a while back (LOL!!!) or not so guilty at times club!!!
 there could be a working mums topic header perhaps with full time and parttime mums threads-  as our experiences depending on our work commitments are quite different and our kids requirements (eg full time care vs one day etc) are too....also perhaps a working from home thread topic, or a own business mums topic - or all of the above????
 please.....???????????
 (yep Bombshell is back!!!    )

   Welcome back Bombshell couldn't stay away.
 I'd like to see a working mum thread, and would love to read stories/posts from OHBaby mums that work from home.
 
 Especially if they are offering products or services we could be using.

   I'm voting for this too - would be nice to chat about life as a working mum esp as I'll be back to work after bub #2 too.

   This gets my vote too - I am not back at work yet but will be shortly (fulltime) and would love to chat to other Mum's in the same situation    |

   me too!  I am back at work and go between feeling guilty, to loving it, to letting the kids get away with murder while I am here just cause their bad behaviour is kinda cute now I don't have it 24/7

   Yup I agree, would be interesting as a SAHM to get a feel for what it will be like when I do eventually return to work part-time! ....I've been thinking of working from home, but wouldn't know where to start with that. 
 Could definitely benefit from reading such threads (working at home etc).
 Great Idea Bombshell    |

   I think its a good thing
 BUT>>>>  Lets not seperate the GWMC into part-time and full-time. Either way we are working and feel partly guilty leaving our children whilst we do whether we are full time part time etc..... and still have to juggle house work/kids and going out to paid work.

   Great idea Bombshell.  Sometimes I feel like I'm the only working mother in the world, it'd be great to hear from others.

   Sounds like a great idea. It would be good to have a few meet ups on weekends too. We really enjoyed the Botany ones (thanks Bombshell).

 I agree.  I'd love for Michaela to have a playgroup or something but since I work during the week I can't take her along to the ones I know about    |
