[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Silly question… but why is your pre-k kid in optional activities with homework? If these are what are stressing you out, quit them vs making major life changes. Staying home wasn’t a viable option for me, but I think I would only stay at home if I were simplifying my life (planning to spend more leisurely, less stressful time with my kids) vs managing a rigorous extracurricular schedule for a 4-year old.[/quote] +1 Quitting a job like mine to play driver to my kids is really stupid - I hired a nanny to do that, plus kid laundry, plus kid cooking. I get nothing but fun and real parenting time. I’d probably quit if DH made 500k+, but you know what, he got laid off. So boy am I happy I didn’t quit - I’m the one with the 500k income. BTW we’re keeping the help, simply because who wants to be driver, cook, maid rolled into one? Instead we get to be just parents at home. [/quote]
