[quote=Anonymous]I left my job to stay at home for 10 years to focus on taking my kid to doctor’s appointments, therapy, countless early pickups from school. It was exhausting and draining. The issues never subsided - just shifted. I decided to stop waiting for a calm in the chaos to go back to work because it would actually never come. Now I am back to work - juggling everything, which takes a lot of effort and time, but honestly I am happier. I was finding I was starting to resent my kid and the future looked bleak. Now, I am back to work and I feel more at peace than before because my focal point is not just him and his needs. Perhaps I am just being selfish, but I wish I had never left the workforce. But that is just my experience - everyone has their own path. Call in help from the outside - tutors, housekeeping, etc. so you can be there for your kid and not be exhausted.[/quote]
