Hi all! I am new to staying at home. I have been an executive for a while now and had a bad burnout and I am on medical leave. I think tooooooo much stress for a long time. Anyway, I am revieving some pay from my past company, but the thing that worries me is what the future holds. I have a 8 and 9 year old and I really want to make it work to stay home with them. I made good $$, so it will be really hard to make ends meet, but once I got the feeling of being with them and being avilable to guide them more, I have to figure something out. Any help is appreciated.
