[quote=Anonymous]I did this. I took 3 years off after the birth of one of my children and then returned to the same school. I regret that decision. I had romanticized the job during my absence. I forgot the challenging parts and remembered the good. When I returned, I was reintroduced to the level of exhaustion teachers experience. I had forgotten what it’s like to be “on” all day. I found I didn’t have the energy to be “on” when I got home to my children. I’m still teaching, but that’s because I’m so far in now that it doesn’t make sense financially to quit. I wish I found something better back then, something that would have allowed me to be more present at home as my own children grew up. [/quote]
