[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have three and work FT; I can’t fathom having four and continuing to work FT (or, to have both parents working FT). It’s probably the biggest reason we didn’t have a fourth, since I love my career and want to keep working more than I want another kid. If you’re lukewarm about work, why continue with four kids?[/quote] I don't know if lukewarm is the right word. I started back at work in fall of 2019, so I worked in person for 7 months. I really liked it. The past 9 months while I've been working remotely, while also trying to educate 3 kids, and for the past couple months having severe morning sickness? That hasn't been much fun. I think that lots of people feel that way. I also have a job with a schedule that is about as good as a working parent with lots of kids can get, so giving that up, if I wasn't going to be home for a few years gives me pause. [/quote]
