[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am so happy at home. I have a very well paying job so it is hard to give up. But I am happier, my child is happier and calmer. I am so happy to be home and wondering if anyone else is contemplating quitting after this. [/quote]

OP here - my kid is 2.5 and I feel like I’ve missed the last 2.5 years. He’s so excited to have me home it feels sad - like he shouldn’t be so excited to have his mom :([/quote]

He’s 2.5. They love their parents at that age and it is the cutest thing ever. Wait until you hit 3.5, 4, 5... it does not make sense for them to be at home. They need to socialize and have friends. By 6, you are chopped liver if any other playmate is around. So definitely enjoy, but understand this is a phase. Do you want to give up working for this? By all means, get a job with better work-life balance, and invest in building a strong parent child relationship. But understand that your child will soon outgrow being at home. [/quote]
