[quote=Anonymous]It sounds like your team dissolving and the new WFH policies make it a good time to leave. Rather than quit altogether, I would try to find something closer, part time, and/or WFH.  I have always been a SAHM, with a few small part time gigs here and there. I have thought about going back full time, but I have been out of the workforce for 14 years now and it’s super intimidating to think about going back. I wish I had kept one foot in the door from the start. Totally keep pushing for a return to your old WFH schedule, both in the old role and new, but if they won’t budge, it is definitely not worth 3 12 hour days. No way.

I have a kid with severe ADHD and as he has gotten older, it’s actually been harder rather than easier in a sense.  He doesn’t go to any of the expensive therapies like when he was little and we were dealing with elopement and such insane hyperactivity he was a danger to himself and others. Now he needs lots of executive functioning help and trying to set him up for success in HS/college and adulthood. A nanny is great for keeping kids safe and happy, but she is probably not going to be able to do a lot of the afternoon/evening stuff.

All of this to say, I wouldn’t stop working now with the plan of going back in a few years. Keep at it and save more money and then when you have 3 older kids in 3 activities on the same day, you can step back then to deal with driving/homework/dinner prep etc. I swear I am somehow busier now with three kids in school than I was when I had babies and toddlers who went to bed at 7pm!
