[quote=Anonymous]I went to full time from part time about 2 years ago. Be kind and patient with yourself; it takes time to adjust and relearn what to prioritize. This is also a good time to expect your kids and husband to pitch in more; the adjustment to working outside the home shouldn't all be on you. Presumably, the whole family will share in the benefits of your paid work and so they should also be picking up some of the things you used to do. The other thing is to see what your new salary can pay for to make your life easier. I'm not saying to go crazy and spend everything you earn on conveniences, but I am saying to strategically see where your salary can help to make your life easier and/or more fun. Something else to consider is that your work at work is probably fine or more than fine and you're being hard on yourself. Hang in there; it will get easier.[/quote]
