[quote=Anonymous]I only read the first and last pages, but I think if you were my friend I would advise you to do it. And if you were me I'd be nervous to do it, so I get your hesitation.

I think you will regret not doing it.

Working in a dream job is energizing, even when it's exhausting. Working the drudgery of intensive parenting rarely is energizing in that same way. And the longer you step out of the career track the harder it is to get it back.

The poster who said to let go of optimizing everything is on the right track. You likely aren't on the parenting journey you initially envisioned before you get your child. That's hard to accept, but even if you devoted one hundred percent of your time and energy to it, you still won't make it back onto that mythical pathway.

What's the worst that could happen if you try it for a year and a half and it really isn't good? You could back out early, right? But you'll always regret not trying it out. If you throw away your goals you start to lose some of yourself.[/quote]
