[quote=Anonymous]OP, you need to figure out if it is the work you want, or the perception of being a working mom that you want. Prior to kids, were you notably career-driven? I ask because I don't know any women who were truly ambitious who quit to SAH. If it indeed is the work (and not just the perception) that you miss, then you should try to figure out a path to getting your career back. However, as a full-time working mom, I will tell you that it is exhausting. All the things that you do now will need to be squeezed into the evenings and weekends. Your spouse and kids will have to contribute more to the household. None of this is a bad thing, it is just something that you REALLY need to want to make it work, especially because your lifestyle isn't reliant upon your income.[/quote]
