A teacher by trade, I enjoy my career. It's family friendly, has great benefits and is a good income. And I love my class and school (a K-6 with three mixed-grade rooms).
My son (1st) is in the room below mine and *loves* the fact that I'm in his school every day, all day. He can't wait til 2nd when he gets to be in my room through 4th grade.
My daughter starts K next year and will be in 2nd when my son is in 4th (not really something I'm looking forward to)
I taught full time for 2 yrs, moved with my husband's job, and subbed for 2 yrs before my babies were born. Then I was home for 6. This year is my first one back and I've had such a hard time deciding what I think of it.
I love my job and I don't want to be unprofessional and quit after only a year in a new school, but I feel like I'm losing these years with my kids. I'm always so rushed in the evenings/weekends catching up on stuff I can't do during the day. And I don't know that I want to live for the summers.
