It’s often possible to find a job that allows you to be home in the late afternoon when kids are getting home. It’s important to be around for kids but that doesn’t preclude working.
For OP, is it possible to cut your hours or find something more part time? [/quote]

OP here. I agree! But I am a fed and have to be in the office 5 days a week, no option for telework. I agree it was better with telework and I did not feel as strong of a need to quit working. For perspective, I am flexing my hours to the maximum, which means I leave the house at 6am and get back home at 4:30.  I am just so exhausted by my commute that I have little energy for the kids (I’m also an older mom). I feel this will have even more negative impact as they start to need more parental involvement with schoolwork and learning to read, etc. Sadly, in this economy/political environment, organizations have frozen all hiring - I have seen ZERO job ads in my field in the past 30 days. It’s bleak! [/quote]
