I am now a full-time stay-at-home-mom. Tuesday was my last day at my part-time job - it was somewhat bittersweet leaving. I have had a paying job since I was a senior in high school which was eons ago. And I babysat for money years before that. That said I couldn't be happier to do one of the hardest, non-paying, most thankless jobs that there are and stay home with my kids all day, everyday! It may be a hard job, but on the other hand it is one of the most rewarding ones as well.
I've worked 2-3 days a week since having kids, and I've always felt that I had the best of both worlds. I think that was selfish of me to think so, but I liked being able to get out of the house every week. This year it just got to the point where it was going to be a struggle to get kids where they need to be when school starts and we were out of daycare options, so it just made since to quit.
I feel very fortunate that I am able to stay home, I know that is not a possible option for all families.
On my last day at work, Kevin and the boys sent me flowers. The card was so sweet, it said "We're looking forward to working with you on your new job". That made my day!
