I work cause quite frankly I am not cut out to stay home. I don't have a pull to domestic duties and I find being around my kids really stressful. I find the hours away from them refreshing and then able to really miss them and be more emotionally available. I always hated maternity leave.
Do I wish I could cut down on hours to run errands? Of course!
Do I wish I didn't have to scramble some days to find a plan b when kids are off school? Also yes but I work because I really would dread staying home.
I also work because I love myself. I'm still at work right now and it's less than 2 hours to shabbos. I'm not working though, just feel more relaxed.
I don't get these threads though.
I want to respond to every single thread:
You should do what works for you! Your way might be the best option for you and the worst option for someone else. You do you and stop judging others for living their lives differently.
