[quote=Anonymous]No regrets about staying home with DD the past 2.5 years. But I sincerely wish I had been smarter and continued to study and do freelance projects during time at home so I wouldn't be so behind professionally now. Still, no regrets that I left work. I am 29, smart and a good worker. I know that I can work my way up as I have in the past, hard as it may be. But if I'd returned to work much sooner, I wouldn't be able to rewind the clock and get time with little DD back.

I do wish that I had continued studying and doing freelance projects as soon as I was able, instead of focusing on DD for two years and feeling behind professionally now. Looking for work is definitely hard now, much harder than if I'd been working and learning new skills the past two years. I quit my job at a time of big changes at my company. The old guard was leaving and many new opportunities would have opened up for me. That ship has sailed, and I know that I have fallen behind. This is hard, especially in a competitive city like DC. Still, no regrets because I know that with hard work, I can catch up.[/quote]
