Ruminitions on motherhood

My colleague just said she would like to quit and be a full time wife and mother to her baby
I was wondering, would our children appreciate us doing this? Should we even do it for such base reasons as appreciation?
But ... I do wonder. If I stay home to care for her and then one day she gets all grown up and moves on in life, will I then wonder what to do with my life, since my one big project is over?
I want to spend time with my baby too - I do, believe me.
But..Ithink I like working as well, I would like a part time option honestly, where I get to work part of the time and be with my darling the rest of the time.
