So I recently had my 3rd child, she's 3 months old now and today is my first day as a new SAHM. I was a general manager of an optical before this and working towards the next promotion actually. I wasn't in such a demanding position with the first 2 and had no issue working then. But when I returned from my maternity leave after this one I realized working almost 50 hours a week, with a 1 hour commute including dropping her off at her nanny I just couldn't do it all. Pumping while driving, no sleep because she missed mommy and wanted the extra comfort at night, plus trying to run a store and manage my staff while dealing with how crazy people have become thanks to this pandemic. After 1 week back I knew I had to sacrifice the career I love to take care of my children. I'm slightly terrified now that it's here and I'm no longer bringing in money but I'm also excited that for the first time in 22 years I just get to focus on my kids, my partner and my house. Compared to balancing all of that with a job I feel like maybe now with less on my plate my migraines will stop and I can finally try all the other things I've always wanted to do like gardening, canning, baking, get in better shape... I just hope this is everything I'm hoping it can be
