It’s definitely a lot to work full time and raise little ones! I work in med device space and luckily have enough flexibility that I rarely miss out on the important stuff or drop off/pick up. I think finding a job that allows for this is important - and I know that’s rare! I do find myself taking home the work stresses mentally and my goal for 2025 is “peace.” So doing my best to leave work worries at the door.
It’s a personal decision to work or stay home. I personally love to work so wouldn’t want to Sahm but some thrive doing this! Choosing part time or another company with more flexibility may be a great option so you don’t leave the work world completely but feel supported in spending more time with your kids. If you do choose to stay home, you could always consult with a financial advisor to help map out what that looks like. It may help alleviate some stress of the unknown.
Hang in there mama! We got this!!
