this sounds bad but both kids and your job (excluding very young children obvi) may be more low maintenance than you think (not saying it isn't super difficult) my mom did it and I just spent a lot of time on my own as a kid honestly

I feel becoming a parent made me a more patient and intentional teacher, and being a teacher made me a more patient and intentional parent.

1) I didn’t marry a loser (lol) and 2) your priorities change- you don’t do less you just manage your time better

I’m convinced adulting is just learning how to juggle a bunch of things at once

as a single mom teacher, it is sooooo hard 😭😭😭 i feel like my kid never gets the best version of me because I'm so over it by the time the school day is over. so much mom guilt.

What’s even harder is being a childless teacher for 12 years and then finally having a baby. Most teachers I know started their career and had babies all around the same time so they never really knew any different. My world was absolutely rocked. I had to learn to be a teacher with less than half the time and energy I was used to giving to my classroom. I do my best but the quality is not the same if I’m absolutely honest because the job requires a lot of unpaid time and labor I’m not willing to give up anymore because that’s my daughter’s time now.

My best friends mom was a teacher at our school. How you feel is a legit concern more teachers/parents need to be aware of. She looked at me crying one day and said “my mom’s so busy being a mom to everyone else she never had the time to be a mom to me”…. Changed my whole perspective (I was thinking of becoming a teacher)

Yeah I won’t be doing it. Teaching helped me to realize that I actually don’t want kids of my own 💀

I had a teacher who literally told us to behave so that they could be a good parent and have the energy for their children when they went home

I don’t give my students the same energy I give my kid. My KID gets the best of me, and my students get the rest of me.

I feel this is why I’m now over 40 with no kids! But, I do still love teaching after 20 years so maybe that’s the trade off 😆

It’s different when they are your own kids. My husband helps a lot but also a mother always has enough love for her kids.
