People have been asking me this lately because my youngest is almost in school and honestly? Hell no, I’m not going back to work. Will I eventually? Maybe. But being a stay at home mom has been exhausting and I want a couple of years to breathe. I think it will be so nice for the family to have healthy meals that I can prep before they get home. And I can keep my house cleaner longer than an hour. I can volunteer and help out with our aging parents as well. I can start exercising, like real exercise. My husband would be happier too if I don’t go back to work...happy wife, happy life and all that:) If you can financially stay at home, DO IT. Take care of you for a year (or more).
