[quote=Anonymous]I had a demanding job pre-children and quit to stay home with them. My youngest is 5 now and this is the first year they’ve both been in school all day - 8:45-2:45. It is not as leisurely as what I had in my mind - but I absolutely love it. It gives me time to be really organized, cook, exercise and do a few other things for myself (eat well, meditation). Mentally, I’ve never been better. Now that they’re older I really enjoy being able to pick them up every day and hear about school, I am able to go on after school hikes, play dates, etc with them as I’ve already meal planned and prepped dinner. I have had lots of time to volunteer (room parent, community service projects, field trip chaperone etc). Ask me how I feel in a year or two but, first year and I really enjoy it. Like you, I didn’t love my previous job (liked my clients/disliked my boss and general work atmosphere). Maybe I’d feel differently if I had found it more fulfilling. [/quote]
