I am a full time working mum with 2 young boys ages 5 and below. The first one requires lots of attention as he is very clingy, has low self-esteem and is difficult to handle. Should i quit my job to take care of them?

The alternative carers of my boys are strong proponents of corporal punishment but I don’t think it helps. In my line, I doubt I will be able to get back into my industry if I were to leave it for 3 years. I have adequate savings for about 3-5 years of expenses. My husband can earn just enough to cover current expenses plus a little savings if we do not travel.

You might regret it later, esp when you run out of funds for therapy etc.

This is difficult to answer on a board and there are so many individual facts

my private thinking is that family is more important than jobs, easy said however in the real world

maybe there is no black or white solution for you, maybe to spend a bit more time with them woul help?

maybe also you are too pessimistic thinking to not have the opportunity later to return, maybe you'd like to discuss with your supervisor?
