[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, I can relate to how you are feeling. It’s been crazy for us as well and we have long commutes too. It sounds like you will be fine financially if you take a break esp since you have no mortgage and your insurance is already covered by DH. My only suggestion is that you should keep your younger child in daycare so that you can truly get a break. [/quote]

Thank you! We actually have a nanny because my younger child has had health issues. He is doing better now, and we have been planning to transition him to daycare in a few months. However, if I were to stay home, I would keep him home with  me. He is enrolled in a preschool two mornings per week, and next fall it will be 3 mornings per week. Between that and gym daycare, I would get the time I need (and I could supplement with a babysitter as needed). Part of what I want is more time with my kids. Within the past year, I lost my mother, my grandmother, and my stepsister. It has made me confront how very short life is, and how I have a limited amount of time with my children.[/quote]
