Thinks s/he gets paid by the post
So my husband and I were discussing retirement this morning- unusual, he doesn't like talking about it. He pointed out the fact that we have young children and I'm usually more than ready to return them to school when summer/vacation is over. He wonders how I'll adjust to being home with them all the time. While its true that I am not the queen of patience, I am also generally stressed out from work. AND when I come home from stressful job, there is laundry, cooking, grocery shopping, homework and the usual kid messes which is tiring and frustrating. Anybody went from being stressed working mom to stay at home mom? How was the transition? Did retiring make you generally less stressed and grouchy at home? Kids will be somewhere between 11-16 at my retirement. Thanks.
