But also, if you are this antsy and you SAH, go back to work. People who need to work and have small children get their adult-self time at the office, so the non-office time is kid-centric.
+1. Except I had mine at 42. 40ties were boring and “different” compared to my 20ties and 30ties - then I was a jet setting socialite. I don’t mine though. BTDT when I was young. No desire to relive it now that I am in my 50ties.
