[quote=Anonymous]I SAH and like it. I would say compared to my working mom, I lavished attention on my kid when he was an infant and young toddler (talked to him all day, took Music class, baby yoga class, went to the library or playground daily). Around 3 I pulled back a bit. Of course I still read to him and go on outings, but my day is structured around things I need to do (chores and other tasks), things I want to do for myself (piano, language learning) and things I want to do with/for my child. I don’t have a problem asking him to play by himself so I can practice piano or run on the treadmill. He also goes to nursery school so he can socialize with other kids and hang out with other trusted adults. He’s an only child and we have no grandparents or cousins nearby, so I feel like he needs that connection at school.

I’m happy with my life as is and it feels balanced. I did just buy a new computer so I may get back into doing remote work a few hours a week. But I wouldn’t call it a career by any stretch. I used to teach at the high school level and don’t really miss it. [/quote]
