[quote=Anonymous]I work because I enjoy it and find it fulfilling. I was a SAHM for a year, due to a strange confluence of circumstances, and - although it coincided with the pandemic and I'm sure it was a factor - I really didn't like it. I'm not a very patient parent and I thrive when I have a village of support to help with the tough parts of it. I also find staying at home isolating. I really enjoy my job and my career and, while I took a year or two out of the workforce at first, that's as much of a gap as I could handle. I don't plan to have a second kid but if I did, I would only take 6 months leave, even if more was offered paid. Financially I don't have to work, per se; we live in a house that's less expensive than what we could afford, and one of our biggest expenses is childcare. But it's a major lifestyle upgrade to have two six-figure incomes. [/quote]
