[quote=Anonymous]Op I did something similar, I took a one year leave from my government job when my daughter was born and it was amazing! My suggestions- get to know other parents and build community. I'm still so close to many of the mom friends I made 5 years ago despite our kids now being in all different schools etc. I did the same thing but for only 7 months when my son was born, 3 years ago. I'm incredibly fortunate to have a job that will let me do this, but seniority and a generous policy around leave made it doable (among other things like financial security). I'm in an academic role too, and I really loved the time off both times but also never really considered becoming a permanent sahm. [/quote]
