Hi,
I have an opportunity to leave my FT job and work PT on a family business, from home. The business would utilize my current skills and my education and there is tons of opportunity for growth.
I feel like I'm almost there in terms of making the decision. In my typical fashion, I have totally overthought this but I can't help myself :) Finances are fine. We have a nanny and I would have to drop her hours - I do feel horrible about that and it's holding me back a bit.
Anyway, have any of you done this? Anything that I should be aware of? My main goal is to really slow down our family's life. I have learned that i don't have a high capacity for stress and that shows up in the way that I parent. I don't want our nights and weekends to be a mad rush to get the basic things done. However, I do need an intellectual (and social!) outlet and I feel like this is a good option.
Is there anything that I'm missing?
