[quote=Anonymous]Only this year has it finally dawned on me that there’s simply no right answer to this. Working when you like to is great, SAH is great, going back and forth is fine, too. There are tradeoffs in all directions. Being a FT working parent is hard logistically and it’s hard missing stuff with your kids or feeling stretched thin. SAH is hard in a different way. It can be boring and full of drudgery, and then the kids get older and you might feel jealous at your peers’ professional successes or feel restless. I have done and felt all of the above. Maybe we could just try to let ourselves off the hook. There are a zillion ways to live a good life. Your kids are going to be fine no matter what you do, and they’ll also have issues with your parenting no matter what you do. My New Year’s resolution is to try to relax about all of this and have more fun.[/quote]
