“I was the only mother out of all my friends and family who didn’t send my kids to daycare or preschool. Since I was fortunate enough to stay at home, I wanted to spend as much time with my kids as I could, even on the days I desperately needed a break,” writes Diana Park. “I didn’t leave them with a babysitter for longer than a half hour until they were in elementary school, and my ex-husband and I never went away on vacation without them because I couldn’t handle it.
