[quote=Anonymous]I would do it op and then find a way to get your foot in the door in small ways like people said. I do think there is probably a way through some consulting or contracts or something. But it doesn’t have to be right away.

My situation is different, I don’t make as much but I’m about to make a slightly similar move. I used to have a lot of flexibility and the balance between work and family felt right. Work has ramped up and it is feeling very off. Between my husband and I’s schedules we used to be able to get the kids early, have more afternoon time together, it wasn’t a rush of evenings. I can see the difference the shift has made in our kids and the overall stress in our family. We’re ok, we could make it, but I think having actually had balance before has really helped me to know it can be better and it’s worth changing for.

So I’m going to leave where I am and start my own thing and it will be less money at least for awhile but I think it will be worth it. While some sahm regret some time in the workforce, most that had a good long successful run in the workforce that I know, don’t regret spending some time focusing the other direction. And the vast majority of people never regret time with family even if they wish other opportunities had been available too (like to work at times too) Good luck op! [/quote]
