[quote=Anonymous]I just returned to work after staying home with my three for three years.   I stopped working after my third was born and DH took a fairly stressful job which required him to be gone for huge chunks of time Monday through Friday.  It definitely made our lives easier - better? Maybe, maybe not.  I think I'm a pretty clued in, involved parent working or not working.  Was my life less stressful?  yes, definitely it was when I was at home. I hired a nanny and I still don't make it to work on time due to the needs of three still small children.   I returned to work for a few reasons, none of which was any unhappiness in staying at home. I loved it.  The kids loved it and my husband loved it.  I was offered a job with a healthy salary and great benefits that I didn't think would be offered to me if I were to stay home for any longer length of time and I made the right choice.  There is a great work/life balance with this position and I am home each evening by 5 and don't leave until 9 every morning. I only work in the evenings a few days a week and only for an hour or less.  If this work/life balance did not exist, I would certainly not be happy with my decision.    [/quote]
