[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I wish I could do it, especially now that they are in elementary school. I feel very stretched and as parenting moves from keeping them alive to emotional support and helping them become good people, that feels like more of a negative for them. We need my income though.[/quote] Do you really miss out on a significant period of time everyday with them though now that they are in school full time and maybe even activities after school? [/quote] I generally am home by 5:30 but it means we really hustle to get them to activities (which I think are important so I do) and our home is generally pretty hectic. In addition, my job requires a ton of mental energy and I’m exhausted at the end of the day so I feel like they get the worst of me some days. I know a ton of people do it, tiny violin and all that, but if I had a magic wand I’d remove some stress and working less or not at all seems like an obvious way to do that. [/quote]
