Similar situation here. I knew I would be bad at working full time and trying to be a mother, and also really didn’t want to put my kids in daycare. So I worked part time with limited hours, to use my degree and skills and earned a little extra money for us although it was a pittance compared to what my husband earned. I have no regrets and feel blessed that I was able to do both to some extent. Having home-cooked dinners and me being present to take care of homework (now homeschool), go to activities and keep the house in order were more important to me than a lot of extra money or a full blown career. My husband will pitch in where necessary and when I need extra time for work he is always willing to do whatever is necessary.
