Something fulfilling outside of being a parent, but not something that takes over being a parent!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08293982726961073174noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8941890565722370601.post-58927106684540017112014-10-02T10:40:44.356-04:002014-10-02T10:40:44.356-04:00I must admit I still fear that quitting my job tot...I must admit I still fear that quitting my job totally halted my career but you're right -- it has given me time and space to figure out what I want to do next and where my passion really is. It was hard for me to see any of that when I was working full time and stressed and a bit burnt out.<br /><br />One of my friends reminds me that even if we are working part time and making the SAME AMOUNT as we are paying for child care, we are still coming out ahead because we are investing in ourselves and keeping our skills up to date. I do wish there were more part-time, well-paid professional opportunities out there though!<br /><br />I'm eager to see what comes next for you!Janethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13792399774589205657noreply@blogger.com
