[quote=Anonymous]I love working, but that wasn't always the case.  I took 6 months maternity leave with each child and really debated going back both times.  I didn't like my job at all, but stuck with it because it was flexible. Fast forward, DH's company went bankrupt and we lost both the majority of our wealth (on paper at least) and his relatively high income.  My working suddenly became non-optional.  I decided to "lean in" and left my mommy-track job for something a lot more challenging because I needed to increase my income.  A few years in, I absolutely love my job and the feeling of accomplishment I get from it.  We're getting to a point where DH is back on track and we won't need my income but I can't imagine quitting.

I have to say though, that I would have struggled with a job as intense as mine when my kids were younger.  I feel grateful that I only had to work in PT, non-stressful job when I was juggling small kids.  They're busy with school, sports and activities so I don't feel I miss out on as much as I would have when they were little.[/quote]
