This just in from IOS reader Jamie Croft, former Talent Acquisition Recruiter, semi stay-at home mom here in the States to a three year old boy and just getting her feet wet back into her career. She dishes to In Our Shoes on the dirty little secret women like her who used to be somebodies in the working world don’t talk about.

.

‘To be honest my son is almost 3 and I am feeling so bored. I HATE play groups and playdates, I am over it and could care less about the BS stay at home moms talk about. I guess it depends on the moms but in my area it’s hard to find good ones. Is that mean? My son is getting so independent now, I find after he gets up from his nap, he plays by himself and I feel kind of useless. He plays with his puzzles and trains and sometimes asks for me but not half as much as he used to. ‘

Jaime has started to pick back up her recruiting career part-time while at home. In Our Shoes asked how she feels getting back on the work saddle.

‘Its not about the money right now but to get my mind going!’

‘I LOVE being frazzled and emailing and talking on the phone and texting all at once to my candidates and clients. I miss recruiting and that high I get when I land people jobs. Now, I’m just making sure it works with my son’s schedule. So far so good!’

We hear you Jaime. Women rock at multi-tasking and why (sshhhh, you didn’t hear it from me) we really are the superior sex.  Thanks for sounding off to us, no judgement calls here. Feels good doesn’t it?
