Personally, I hate that I don't get home until 6pm, even though I spend all of the rest of the evening and all weekend with my child.  To those critiquing the person who wrote the above, can't we all just agree that different people have different preferences?   All we have is a small snapshot of eachother's lives.  So yes, we make snap judgements and give advice.  No need to get nasty about it.

And I completely agree with the PP's comment about declaring victory, not defeat.  Well, I'm trying to convince myself of that because I would really like to quit my job for a few years and then possibly re-enter (though I'm a fed so that is pretty much an uphill battle).

I'm the "victory" poster above. I wouldn't advocate leaving your Fed job. No offense, but I was referring to the OP being in a high pay high stress job. As a fed, particularly a female fed, you may have more options to downshift while still staying employed. I'd explore these befor considering the idea of quitting and re entering the fed at a future date. [/quote]
