Yes, that is luxury. When someone asks me when I will go back to work, I always say "when we run out of money." Fortunately, we are in a position where I can quite spontaneously return with the number of hours I choose. For me, it has little to do with the child's well-being (although I am also critical when children are cared for by others from morning till evening at one year old – nevertheless, often it simply cannot be helped); above all, it is my selfishness that I want to spend time with my child as long as possible."Dream housewife" was deliberately written provocatively, as I absolutely don't know that from our environment. Only here with every financing is it immediately said that you then won't work or will work less for years. That is an absolute luxury that one allows oneself. However, the child's well-being is often used as an excuse here. When I then read statements like "like a stressful workday for the child," I can only smile.
And that is okay. Unfortunately, it is often portrayed differently, and people are almost made to feel guilty when they go back to work (longer) after parental leave. I didn't want to hijack this thread with the topic of childcare, which is why I held back in other threads as well. But here it was the topic anyway over several posts – and very one-sided.it is above all my selfishness that I want to spend time with my child as long as possible.
