[quote=Anonymous]I SAH for five years, then tried to go back. It wasn’t for our family, so I transitioned to part time work. I miss working more because I love my job, but my kid has multiple special needs. Even though he’s doing “better”, it’s only because I’m constantly doing lots of therapies. If I hadn’t put the time in, he wouldn’t be doing well at all. I hope to ramp up my hours in a couple years, but of course now the other child is struggling. Some days, it makes me feel like my face is melting off, but I imagine that if you’re not parenting special needs children, it would be easier and more fun. Even if I never go back fully, I don’t regret taking the time off. My DH has good character, and I put our relationship even before our kids. We’ve both had years of therapy and are from an emotionally healthy place. [/quote]
