I took a six year break from teaching to be a full time mother. It was the best decision, though when I returned my colleagues (on the same rank as me) were already way ahead of me (some earned doctorates, some got promoted). No regrets. I also felt my years as a full time mom turned me into a better teacher, and a sharper scholar, when I returned to academe. So yes, there is nothing to regret and a whole lot more actually to be gained!
