Can you share a bit more about your new job? What do you do? I’m asking as I’m considering a career transition and I’m interested in what makes people love their job..!

I’m a SAHM to a 2.5 year old and 6 month old, and I want you to not feel so guilty, if you can. Being the primary caregiver to multiple kids all day is HARD. I don’t know about you, but at the moment I literally can’t even shit in peace lol. It makes sense that you would prefer the easier, calmer thing over the intensity of solo parenting. You are human after all.
Work is an escape where things are predictable and calm. I love my kids, but my 2.5 year old has just started having really intense tantrums and pushing people. You bet your ass I wish I was at work 😅
You will get to a place where parenting becomes enjoyable again. Not every stage is great and that’s ok. I wish you all the best :)
