I like your story, Don’t EVER regret having kids early (I don’t think you do). I know so many “professional women” (and men) who thought success was being a high-level drone at some corporation. They neglected family - and now its too late. Also, you are young and can manage a family easily. Children are the wealth of this era, people just don’t realize it yet.
You now have a totally useful and transportable skill - baking. If you want to pursue that full time, by working hard, many paths in many related fields will be open to you.
I agree!
She found something you LIKES TO DO. THAT’S the key.
Jobs are just a way to pay for your LIFE. If your job becomes your life and identity, you’ll never be happy.
Thank you! And my baking skills make me my best money when I’m baking pastries because I get paid more per piece than I do for breads and rolls.
BUT, my most reliable work is always for breads and rolls. Not every resort or restaurant is all so hot for fresh pastries but they all love fresh bread and rolls. My thing is my sourdough starter. It’s mine and when I started it in school the teachers all said it was special and I’ve kept it going ever since.
