[quote=Anonymous]Op I’m a (now former) fed and your post resonates a lot. One of my kids has ADHD and needs more support, previously had a flexible schedule that made working worth it and a great balance of being present while still being able to work. Cue recent events and I’m working longer hours, commuting 1+ hr both ways on the beltway gone from the house 11 hrs a day minimum. I know many people do this regularly, many with less privilege do far far more difficult things but my quality of life went down so drastically for our entire family. I left a few months ago and I have zero regrets so far. I won’t be leaving the workforce fully but for now I’m home with the kids and it’s amazing - the space it’s given our family only having one parent managing multiple things. We are both very lucky to be able to make this call and I can tell you recognize that. If you can, I don’t think the time away from the kids is worth it. My kids felt my stress. That being said it was 5 days a week for me which really did feel different than 3 days a week (I was already doing 2-3 but much less stressful times and more flexible). Good luck! It’s been worth every second for me and I’m so glad I made the call as tough as it was at the time. [/quote]
