[quote=Anonymous]I was a PT SAHM for 10+ years with my 3 kids, though I volunteered and worked very PT doing odds and ends. Husband traveled a lot for work and it just didn’t seem financially viable for me to be able to stay at home PT while also having some childcare. Then all of a sudden I blink and my kids are in HS and I am fretting having to save money for college cause up till then I thought we might qualify for financial aid but no dice. So I scrambled and got an admin job which moved into a promotion and now I’m so glad I did. Looking back my brain turned a bit mushy being with those kids all day, which I found out once I was working FT and I had nothing to talk about with co workers other than my kids. Yikes! I also became a bit of a control freak about the kids and house which were habits that were hard to break once I had to switch my focus to FT work, and created a space for my husband to help out less when he was around since it seemed like I had it covered, which created quite a bit of stress. I’m not sure the answer here - just sharing my experience. [/quote]
