Nice meeting you! Please don't let what other people say annoy you. The idea that a modern woman should/can have both a career and a perfect family life is a myth. Having a job (outside the house) means sacrifying the time you could spend with the kids. I did that with my eldest. Gave up my "career" when my second child was born and I never regretted that. Plus, when your kids grow older you will have more time to yourself, to pursue your passions!
Thank you so much, and I agree, they grow so fast too, just the thought of me being at work and missing out on their all their "first" makes me already regret the thought of it, and you are 100% right about getting to pursue my passions when they are older and more independent! And I love the fact that I can be more a hands-on parent especially how the world is only getting uglier by the day
