[quote=Anonymous]Yep. I was so burnt out trying to have an amazing career + be an amazing mom. So I quit my job. My physical and emotional health has never been better. Surprisingly, going from two incomes to one income wasn’t quite the financial hit I thought it would be - we were spending a ton on childcare / outsourcing everything while I was working. Kids have responded really well to me being a SAHM. That said, while it’s been amazing FOR ME, I think it’s kind of sad that I had to quit my job to feel like I could handle my life. I think if I had a husband who took on more domestic tasks, hands on grandparents who lived nearby, Mary Poppins as my nanny, more flexibility from my kids’ schools, and a society that really embraced mothers not having to do it all, I could’ve have both a career and a happy family. But that’s not my reality, so I’m happy where I am. [/quote]
