[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I only say that in response to people who constantly think they’re the only ones who are busy and imply my life is so relaxing compared to theirs because they work. But also, it’s the truth. I don’t work because I wanted to raise my kids. PhD scientist here so don’t worry about my brain, it’s doing just fine.[/quote] It's rude, sure. But surely you don't actually believe you are using your intellectual capabilities to the same degree that you would be/were prior to staying home with kids? I know that I felt very unchallenged in many areas, mostly intellectual, and completely overwhelmed in others.[/quote] Intellectual capabilities are usually unchallenged at work too. Most of work is drudgery even in intellectually demanding jobs. Especially at the mid career leadership level when you transition which is what parents often are. [/quote]
