I have been working since I got out of college. Pretty much without a break. The 2 / 3 weeks vacation I accrued at work, I would spend on India trip to visit family.
Work.. work.. Babies..

I quit my job when D1 was about 10 months. Actually 2 weeks before my mom went back. This is something I had planned for a very long time. Colleagues and friends thought I was either hush hush about the “new” job I have got in hand OR I have lost it all together to quit such a high paying job.
The day I told my manager about quitting, he was very supportive. He has 3 kids and values them ahead of everything else in his life. His statement was – Knowing you, you have probably made up your mind and I am sure there is nothing I can do about it. If there is anything I can do to retain you, just give me a hint.
It was funny when my director held a toast saying – You were my most favorite employee of all. And there were couple of colleagues screaming – Hello, she is the one leaving you, and we are the ones loyally staying back

It’s almost 2 years since I quit my office job. I say “office” job as now I help H with his ventures whenever I can. I can call myself a working from home mom, though in reality I am more of a taking-care-of-my-kid mom. That’s my first priority. Being a helping hand to H always takes second priority. It has worked out so far, since we have split our primary responsiblities and that gives H more time to concentrate on what he does best. I can’t complain, inspite of his super busy schedule, he manages to help me out more than I can ask for.

The big question still remains?
How does it feel to be working from home mom/ stay at home mom?
