[quote=Anonymous]My kids were 3, 5 and 6 when I quit and stayed home full time. I don't remember it having a single bump. Kids loved their nanny but we just moved to the next phase without any ado. The youngest one got clingy with me, but could have been his personality, the amount of time we had that allowed for it, or me just enjoying it. But in retrospect, he was a really clingy toddler. Also in retrospect, my kids were way better off because of it. Our summers and their academics were all better, my relationship with my DH was easier with less stress, and DH made more money by having the freedom to go all in on his career. The feminist in me hates to admit it, but the world is still set up for a stay at home parent (if you can afford it). [/quote]
