39: “My work has "juice" for me now while parenting just feels hard and draining.”

“I'm feeling incredibly disconnected from my kids right now.

I'm the main breadwinner and my husband stays home with them. When they were little, I stayed home with them and I loved it, but now I am spending most of my time at work. To be honest, I like it that way.

When I come home at the end of the day, I find the chaos and noise distressing. My work is very gratifying at the moment and I am receiving a lot of recognition after putting in a lot of hard work over many years.

My work has "juice" for me now while parenting just feels hard and draining.”
