Im interested to hear from anyone who took time off to be at home when DCs were little and has gone back to work after a career break?
Are you glad you did it? How long were you off for and how was going back to work?
I have two DCs aged 3 and 1. I worke 3 days a week (but usually end up working at least part of most evenings too). I really enjoy my job, it's flexible with nice people and an easy commute. Salary just about covers childcare so I don't do it for the money but see it more as a long term investment in myself.
Lately though as DC1 gets closer to starting school I've been thinking about taking a few years off to be at home with the children. If I thought I could walk back into my current job I would do it without a doubt but I'm worried about the impact of 2+ years out on my career.
Would be grateful to hear anyone's experience of doing this.
