[quote=Anonymous]So my kids are all over 18 but all under 22 so Im kinda done but still a huge financial and emotional support for them.

I stayed at home till the youngest was 12 and then went to work at their [future] private high school as a substitute in hopes of getting hired full time. I didn't get full time till they were graduated (go figures!) but my eventual part time position lead to 65 percent off tuition for the first and 85 percent off for any kids behind them.  It was a pretty good deal IMO.  I had to re-certify myself in my field and do some really bad sub jobs but it all worked out.  I think I underestimated how much I would like going back to work and if I realized that I would have gone back when my oldest was in 1st.  Part time [for me] was the best of both worlds.

That said my sister, who's kids are similar ages, was/is a full time physician their entire lives working 50 to 60 hours a week and her kids are just as confident, adorable, hilarious and kind as mine.  They had good nannies and spent on amazing camps and all that and they had a great childhood.  As my grandpa said "there are a million ways to skin a cat." [/quote]
