    How many moms went back to work within the first year of having your twins? At how many months?

    My girls are three months and I had to go back to full time work on Monday. Ahhhhhhhhh ! Oh & I start school again next week!

    I went back at 8 weeks too.  We couldn't afford for me not to.

    I went back around 10 or 11 weeks. Besides the fact that I needed to work for financial reasons, I also have better balance in my life when I am working.

    I went back at 8 weeks too, full time.  And I did some work from home while on maternity leave as well.

    I was in the middle of grad school when our twins came along.  I started taking classes again on when they were 5 months old, but only part time.  I went back full time to finish up when they were 2, and as soon as I finished school, I went to work full time.  I never wanted to be a SAHM, but I was glad I didn't have to go back when they were just a few weeks old.

    I definitly agree, going back to work gives life back a balance. I know this may sound bad but staying at home all day and night with the twins was driving me crazy. Although I am exhausted, I feel a lot better emotionally.

    I went back at 9 months, but I did quite a bit of work from home and some business trips before I was officially back in the office. I went back PT but that worked out to be 30-40 hours a week so it was stressful and a big organizational challenge. I did not like going back and never enjoyed work like I did before I had the twins (and I truly loved being an attorney before I had kids) so I am glad that we can afford for me to be a SAHM for a couple of years with the new baby.

    It's great that you understand this and don't want to stand still. Development and change are always good.

    Hello, I also started trading and chose cryptocurrencies, because I think that this is now the most profitable investment option. A big advantage of trading for me is the ability to automate the process. I trade on the cryptomkt.com platform and usually log in for 20-30 minutes a day to see new strategies etc. It's very convenient.
