[quote=Anonymous]After a 65+ hour a week position when my kids started school, I downshifted to a less demanding job when kids were in middle school, then decided to leave the workforce when my kids were in high school. I highly recommend an interim position, if you can find one, as it's a good way to decide if that's enough flexibility to make you feel comfortable and satisfied. In my case, the interim job gave me time to reflect, spend more time with family, and get back to my favorite hobbies. Then I started to realize there was so much more I wanted to do in life than work, even 40 hours a week. Once I left the work force, I had plenty of time for my hobbies and my kids - and was really happy and much healthier. Other moms I know have taken similar paths, but filled their time with volunteering or part time work.[/quote]
