Iin my 28th year now and yes have considered stopping a few times but then I pour myself a cup of tea, kick off my shoes and sit down while the "little darlings play nicely" and think nope I got it good.

We had three kids and when my third was heading off to school I considered ok what do I do next year when he is full time as in do I go back to work during school hours at least or do I keep doing daycare - then I found out I was pregnant end of story. Since then the tea method works fine.

I think a lot has to do with what you were in a previous life too. I was in teaching and since hubby is military I spent most of the first few years on supply lists in several provinces which is also no way to live. Daycare allowed me to move my job with me which I loved. I would be trading my freedom for the current Ontario education disaster - nope never happening. But if you had a job that you reallly loved or one that you wished you could have done but never did then for sure you might want to at least take some of the training required just to see if you still like it. Besides, the odd night class would also give you a personal outlet - adults and everything.
