[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]to the people making fun of me: go away, please. to others: thank you, i really appreciate it. i could try to go part-time. i'm worried it'll stymie my career prospects because i know people get branded with the "part-time" stigma, but it might be the only choice. i can't telework because i can't do my job from home. i work from 7-3:30, so i do have some time with my daughter, but it's 4:45 by the time i get to her, and then if she needs a nap at home, i see her from 6 until she goes to bed at 7:30. [/quote] A lot of moms are "damned if you don't and damned if you do." I became a sahm, and I don't regret it, but now that I want to go back to work, it's really hard. It's harder because I don't want an hour commute, so my choices are really limited. It is disheartening. Most women cannot have it all. Can you try to find a different job closer to home?[/quote]
