[quote=Anonymous]1 child I work part-time with flexible hours We’ve embraced being home and spending time as a family unit. I miss travel and doing more social stuff, but I’m not pining away for it 24/7. I can be as happy with a weekend of parks and hiking near our home, coffee and bagels from the cafe up the street, baking cookies with the kid, and watching a movie at home, as from a weekend trip to NYC. The trip would be more memorable, but in the moment, I get the same amount of pleasure from staying home. I have a long term personal project I work on a little bit each week (oil pastel paintings) that is totally separate from work or parenting, and I think it’s essential to my mental health. I’m not amazing, but good enough to enjoy the process, and it helps round out my identity and is something I can do when I need a break from family life. And yes, a supportive and equal partner with whom I have a strong relationship.[/quote]
