[quote=Anonymous]Those ages are hard, in a few more years they’ll be in school more hours and will play more independently. That said, I just left my job after balancing full time wfh and parenting for the past eight years. My office was implementing RTO and I had the opportunity to take an exit package, so I did. I have three kids under 8. Working full time was exhausting, even with childcare and twice a month house cleaners. Whatever energy I had left over at the end of the day went to cleanup and meal prep and admin. So far I’m much happier at home, at least in this season of life. I didn’t leave my job for years because I had enough flexibility that made it seem crazy to leave. I’m glad I rode the wfh wave because I bolstered my retirement savings and that will compound, but on the other hand, I’ll never get those years with my kids back, and it was incredibly stressful.
