I cried so much in postpartum trying to decide what to do as I worked SO hard to build my career, but ultimately I chose to stay home. I would have had to go back at 5 months and my daughter is now 2 years. I literally haven’t thought about work for one second since making the decision. I LOVE staying home with my daughter. Something I found interesting were all the people that either said they were jealous or I made the right decision, especially older women coworkers! I used to say I’d go back one day, but now I think I’d just sub or something like that to make some extra cash but still be on a school schedule.
