I work flexible but very long hours as a city lawyer. I have two DCs aged 5 and almost 2. My husband has a job that takes him away about 50% of the time. In the last year I got extremely stressed/depressed because I couldn't cope with everything on my plate. DH and I agreed (partly as a result of counselling I had) that we no longer want to live like that. We planned to downsize our house considerably and for me to stop working.
So, it is all coming together. We have found a great house is a great village and by the summer we should be moved and I will have resigned. So why am I so scared?
I seem to have so many worries about it. I have never lived in a village. Will DD settle in a new school, will people like us? How will I adapt to giving up work and being a SAHM. Anyone done similar who can reassure me? Part of me thinks it will be the best decision we ever made and part of me is terrified!!
