[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I regret becoming a SAHM. Actually, I would've really enjoyed one year of maternity leave then a gradual return to full-time/in-office once the kid is in PK3. I do not regret leaving a crappy job and toxic work environment. I should've found something better instead of staying because I knew I was going to quit to SAH with my baby. But now that baby is 7 and another one is 4 and yet another is 20 months. No, this totally sucks. The older two are in school but between random days off and illness and just the fact that the school day really isn't all that long it still doesn't feel like I'm getting enough of a break from all of them, frankly. [/quote] Why did you have a third kid if this is how you feel?[/quote] She is in the thick of it. She may be back in a year and loving life when her second is in kindergarten and her youngest is in PT preschool. When my kids were 2 and 4, the day to day was so hard. When I look back in pictures, they look so cute. In reality, there was a lot of whining and I just tried to survive daily.[/quote]
