[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Your post IMO doesn’t read like you want to stay at home. You mention the early years briefly but the rest of your post is about why work is important to you and your fears around losing it. Why not hire a capable nanny (as a former one, you know they exist) and be a proud WOHM? You can be a fantastic and involved mother and also work full time. I recognize that you have options, but to me your post reads like someone who just needs to be reminded that it’s ok to be a mom and choose to work![/quote] OP here. I do want to stay home. I’m just struggling with what could happen to my career. I would love to be able to stay home or work part-time and find a nanny. It’s just tough to find any good part-time help. [/quote] I think you are making a lot of excuses. You are a nurse. I’m pretty sure you will always have a job. DH is a surgeon and he has lost 2 NPs having babies in the past 4 years. I’m not a NP but I stay home with 3 kids. I was a working mom of 2 kids for 5 years. You should easily be able to work and find a nanny. Or work PT like everyone has suggested.[/quote]
