For all the moms, how do you manage this job with a newborn? Some days are easier than others for sure, but most days I just feel guilty

One day at a time. Several days I’d drive back home feeling sleep deprived after a long day at office. If you can work from home do it. Take naps. Enjoy this magical time with your baby. Remember you have 18 summers with them. Make them count.

None of the women in the office have kids, so judging by that alone, I’m assuming either they don’t want to or that it isn’t compatible with this career

My kids are 27 and 30 now. But, in prep for kids, I went independent. Set up office so nanny could bring babe. Got super efficient. Kept book smallish, until they started school. Increased my client load as my kids grew.
Have had a great life. Savored and enjoyed my kids, made enuf money to support, grew business as it worked to do so.
Like the other person said, you have 18 summers with them. Don't end up regretting at the end.

Advice time. So I’m making 100k roughly and I still live with my parents. Moved back due to COVID as did a lot of people I think? Anyways I want to save $ to buy a house. Should I still be living at home? I was planning on leaving when COVID finally becomes a thing in the past so assuming the summer of 2022 so roughly 8 months from now. I know I am extremely blessed and thankful to god that my parents are kind and allow me this but just want advice please.

However, I feel really bad because of the timing (there would never be a good time for me to be replaced) and what I would be doing to the owner (pushing back their personal and company goals). Do any other "feelers" out there have any advice on how to approach this?
