I was forced to return to the office, but the commute and childcare became a logistical nightmare. I had to quit

Life became a logistical nightmare, navigating different people, priorities, and schedules. I didn’t see my kids before I left in the mornings as they were still asleep, and when I came home, I was just too tired to focus on anything, including them.

Obviously, many parents navigate these things but I found it so difficult keeping everything balanced. I had to make a change and quit.
