I hear your frustration, dismay and sadness regarding your current work-life situation. You sound pretty clear that you don't want to continue working the way you are. And, you see your work situation as causing you to miss important parts of your children's lives. I'm sorry you're feeling stuck.

I hear some good stuff, too! It sounds like you and your husband are in a fairly secure financial situation, even though there is concern. I hear that you're willing to make changes to create a better work-life mix for yourself. Sounds like the problem/conflict arises in that you and your husband have different values and priorities around family, children and financial issues. It might serve you both to get clear on what you want - what are the priorities for your family. There seems to be some overlap - he wants your kids to be with other kids more, you want to have more time to nurture your kids. There might be some common ground there to get clear on - what does the ideal parenting/raising the kids scenario look like. Once you know that, you can then evaluate what changes might need to be addressed.

You may also want to check with the organization that you work for - are there any opportunities for less than full time work? I wonder if there are some creative ways to adjust your professional situation so it doesn't have to be 'all-or-nothing.' You raise a another important question - do you want to even be a full-time stay at home mom? I'd encourage you to get clear on your ideal work-life mix. If you had a magic wand and created the perfect scenario, what would it look like? Once you have an ideal, then you can overlay it with your reality - financial needs, resources, support you have, etc. Baby steps can give a big impact.

Let me know your thoughts and how else I can help.

Best,
Julie

Welcome to Butterfly! Sweet photo...We do hope you took a moment to bid on the handsomely sweet Nick Lachey to benefit VH1 Save The Music.

You can start your journey here by looking to join some of the many groups (like BABIES and BELLIES) to connect and network with like women (groups under members tab). Enjoy the celebrity Mom Mentor videos like the one this month with Legal Analyst Lisa Bloom or Danielle Monaro and the inspiring working mom interviews. And, don't miss the resourceful/lifestyle editorial offering advice in everything from child care to parenting to travel and nutrition.

Please let us know if you have any questions and please take a moment to invite your circle of moms into the community so that we can empower as many women as possible/upload your photo!
Very Best,
Terry and Bradi, Co-Founders
