After almost 6 years, today marks my final week as a stay-at-home mom. I have all the feelings. 😭

Oh wow! Sending you all the strong hugs as you start this new chapter! I’m just wrapping up my maternity leave with my second (and last) little one and I totally understand all the feelings. Thinking of you! 🫂

Ahh that's so tough too. How long were you able to stay home?

9 months and then hubby will take the remaining 3. In the UK we can have 1 year to share between parents. And you? 6 years are great! It must be a huge change .

Yes, but we've been on one income the whole time. In the States, I was only able to use my banked sick time, so I only got paid for the first 15 days of that time. 😋 But in Massachusetts, childcare is $2,000 per month per kid, so the choice was easy. My older one is finally off to kindergarten (which is free), so we only have to pay for the little one and it finally makes sense to go back to work.

You managed to make the most of it which is great! Well done! Good luck to your older for starting the kindergarden and good luck to you for this new chapter. Keep us posted! 💜 And of course 100 $degen
