[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You won't regret it.

Your kids are the most amazing thing you will ever create.

Trust me, that once they are teens and young adults leaving home, you will look back not regret one moment you put them first.

I have never met a mom who looked at her adult children and wished that she had spent more time at her job and less time with her kids.

If you are able to tighten the family budget to spend a few precious years with them while they are young, either as a full time stay at home mom, or through a part time or flexible gig job, do it.  It might be hard in the moment, but you won't regret it looking backwards.[/quote]
Eh. So I’m planning to transition to being a SAHM for a bit but do absolutely know someone who probably wishes she had spent more time at work. Her eldest son is truly a horrible person (and I’ve known him since he was a child and it’s just his innate character). She was second in her class in high school and phi beta kappa in a stem field in college and gave it all up to be at home for him and it really was not worth it.

Although maybe she doesn’t regret it because her younger son was very successful and a wonderful person (who unfortunately passed away).

Growing up knowing your parents wish you had died instead of your brother can do terrible things to a person's mental health
