[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Unless you think you’ll be bored, do it. I switched to a flexible WFH mommy track position from a high stress one. It’s currently similar money but will be lower long-term, and 100% worth it. I will be comfortable here as long as they let me.

SAHM is not for me honestly. [b]I like having a job to do that forces me to use my brain [/b]and isn’t toddler time all the time. I do like making money and supporting myself rather than having to rely on DH. I think I’d enjoy being home part-time but there are really limited part-time job opportunities and part-time childcare options, so we didn’t go that route. [/quote]

Agree, but for the stupid part - if you weren’t using your brain when raising your kid, that’s on you. There are plenty of things to do and plan. You just wanted to use your brain in a DIFFERENT, career-oriented way. Nothing wrong with that - did you have to turn it into an insult? You were doing so well but then didn’t use your brain.[/quote]

She might be an astrophysicist. You have no idea. I can guarantee that planning and reflecting on your kids milestones, and studying parenting techniques is stimulating, but not the same kind of stimulating as being, well, an astrophysicist. Seriously. [/quote]
