[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have three young kids. My career is at an inflection point and I’m considering taking a pause to be fully present with my kids. If your kids are out of the little kid phase - looking back, do you think it matters to have a stay at home mom? Do you regret working full time or staying home full time? Or are you happy that you continued your career or stayed home? I would love to hear how parents whose kids are older reflect on working vs staying home. [/quote] It doesn’t have to be all or nothing. In certain jobs you can mommy track or coast (reaping what you sow) until your kids get older. Especially if you have flexibility and a good work-life balance right now and can’t afford to SAHM long term, make sure you think through what you are giving up in addition to what you are getting in the context of potentially needing to jump back into a role with less flexibility initially.
