[quote=Anonymous]I work part time and love it also - 24 hours a week, or 60% of full time.  For me, that ensures full benefits as well.  So, although my salary does not contribute much to our household income, my benefits do both now (health insurance) and more importantly in the long run (I am fortunate to have a pension).

How to find such a position is more difficult.  It helped that I worked full time for 16 years prior to going part time.  If you are currently working FT, explore the option with your current employer.

A few suggestions if you go PT - be sure to set the parameters so you are not trying to do a FT position in PT hours.  Accept that you are not as likely to get promotions and advance, but you are also not losing skills being home.

Although I love my situation and feel I have a pretty good balance, sometimes there is a feeling on being on the outskirts of everything... not part of the SAHM crowd, too often not available, not part of the social activities or even up on the latest gossip at work - I have too much to do when I'm there and frequently miss out on lunches and the like.  Even given that, wouldn't change it for the world.  Family wise things are great.

Good luck, OP[/quote]
