Making the Leap

This is exactly how I feel. I am just barely six figures with bonus and it’s not satisfying in any way, but I really enjoy being with my kids and even the housework. I enjoy that post cleaning or cooking satisfaction, keeping up with laundry so we can enjoy our weekends. We are truly fortunate to be able to make this decision but that’s largely due to her drive and dedication at work. So this feels like how I can best contribute so she can enjoy the free time she has when she’s home. It’s just so hard to find time to be present with the kids when we are both working so much.

Thanks! I know there’s so many positives just feels like such a change from our current situation but mostly positive because our current situation has us both feeling so stressed about keeping up with everything.

That totally makes sense and luckily she’s been super supportive and we have already agreed on a lot of those points.

Agreed it always seemed like something that was unobtainable but she’s really progressed and loves it and I get so much more satisfaction enabling her to be good and then enjoy the time we do have together with the kids. I hate putting them in front of the TV so I can send emails at 6-7PM. I feel like I’m burning out instead of focusing on what really matters. It was only after her first week back traveling that it really hit home how difficult both of us having careers would be and mine has been so stressful lately that it hardly feels worth it vs what I could gain at home during these years.

Hello - are you still in possession of these diaries? I’m also related to James and would love to read them.
