It is important to have a stable financial situation when taking a decision of quitting work, make sure you have that covered. Keep up-to-date on networking and read about new technology or development in your field. There could be a time further down the road when you feel that you can get back to work - maybe part time since kids are in full-time school - transition would be much smoother if follow this advice! But life's true meaning is living in present - but keep an eye on the future so you can enjoy today and tomorrow!

I can so relate to it. I am conflicted about staying home rather than working but my views are exactly the same as the article. I do see what I'm doing as raising our future generation. I put my all into raising my kids.Not to mention I love them and they are my number one priority. Theres also more than just dealing with the kids when you're running a home and family. Sooo, soo much more. I never even realized it myself untill I did it. I used to be a working mother and I have to say my life became much more balanced when I decided to stay home with the kids. I became so overwelmed when I was doing both (I was also dealing with constant migraines which probably played a part) that I went into a downward spiral of depression which didn't make me enthusiastic about being a good mother, wife, friend or anything else for that matter. Staying home brought my life out of the gutter. I just wish I could kick the guilt feelings I have over letting my career go. Thanks for sharing this. I can so relate to it.

Really shows how much we rely on gadgets and wi-fi even during a business trip. However, I do agree with you that we could all use a little break and not feel the need to be connected all the time.
