[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Do you have to work?  It’s ok to want to work also!  But if you can find a way to make your child the bigger balance say part time. 3 days work 4 days child, you will have no regrets [/quote]

Except for the decline in pay, retirement savings, college savings and the like. And finding a Nanny who will work 3 days and not 5 is harder.

OP we were lucky that this didn’t crop up until summer vacation after first grade. DS didn’t say anything but he was at a full time day care. Four days out of five he we be upset that it was time to go home and ask me to leave. He has friends from day care that he still plays with. Last summer he told me that he wishes I was still a teacher so I could be home on breaks with him.

I like the idea of an occasional lunch date with your daughter. Could you work 4 nine hour days and be home early on Friday? Or even 8.5 hour days?

DS has asked at various times why we work and we tell him it pays for the house, clothes, and food. At 6 I started including the concept of saving for retirement and college because he had started saving for a big toy. [/quote]
