[quote=Anonymous]I think I could have been happy staying home for a few years with each kid. If I’m honest I think it’s ideal to be home for a year; I really wish we had better maternity leave in the US. My husband was very against me staying home because he felt his mom was very controlling and didn’t have her own life outside of her kids. My mom stayed home for A while and then went back to work when we were all in school. I think that’s ideal but I didn’t go into a great field for taking 5+ years out. So I took as long of maternity leaves as I could (mostly without pay) and then cut back at work as much as I could. I work pretty close to the exact school hours now that I don’t commute. Which is great aside from the fact that my favorite thing about working was having intellectually stimulating conversations with my awesome coworkers and that really doesn’t happen anymore. I’m not good at zoom. I will stick it out for the great schedule a while longer though.[/quote]
