[quote=Anonymous]I’m thinking of resigning because I’m super burned out from working + pandemic parenting a toddler (yay Covid daycare closures), but keep thinking it’s a really stupid thing to do.  Im an in-house attorney making around 250k.  The hours aren’t that terrible but we are in the office 3 days/week and the commute is taking its toll (I had a kid during the pandemic so the commute is hitting a different way now, and I’m also in a satellite office with no team members or business partners, so I commute to sit in an office by myself - there has been no flexibility on this even when I point out it doesn’t make sense).

My husband has a demanding job making $1-2m but it’s in a super volatile industry and there’s no guarantee that salary will continue.  He supports me resigning (I do not want a different job - it’s either keep the one I have where I have a lot of good will and flexibility built up or quit).  The house is a mess, my body is a mess, and I just want a break to take care of my personal/family life - plus we want another child and I keep putting it off because of how overwhelmed I am with life already (I’m 36 so don’t want to keep waiting.)

Am I delusional in thinking it’s ok to quit? I know people will say to outsource cleaning and cooking and get a nanny to get myself more time but I honestly would rather do that myself than try to manage finding good people to do that for us. [/quote]
