Feel like im at my wits end working with kids burnt out to the core.. my hub supports me stopping to work and becoming stay at home mom. He currently gets paid nicely to cover the monthly expenses but nothing major. Meaning my salary goes into a savings account for a future - we hope to own our home one day.
That being said, if I give up my job that means our savings will stay the way it is - which is far from buying a house. Im really torn apart what to do..should I push through so I get to buy a home? maybe is an emunah issue that hashem can do anything? or maybe my place is to be a mother for my kids and not be so exhausted by the time they come home from school.

Is it possible for you to cut your hours??

I was in the same situation. I was at the end of my rope. I couldn't anymore. I gave up my job & don't
regret it. Even if we don't own our home & have to live frugally. My sanity is worth more.

Yes
You should quit if you can't cut hours
You need a home to put into the house
Children have one childhood and one person in the world to call mother

Money and a house is decreed from on high

So true.. so my hours are cut the most it can be at this point..
How did you feel once you stopped working? scared I'll loose a certain motivation in my life. bottom line once im at work I enjoy the energy and the vibes of busines.. scared being home all day might make me feel a little less ambitious
