[quote=Anonymous]After a very difficult multi-year saga we have finally gotten diagnoses for my child - ASD, ADHD, Dyslexia, and gotten them into a supportive private school. The school is small and does not have before or after care. I’m realizing I have to scale back and go to part time in order to make our new situation work.

I have all kinds of mixed emotions about this. It has to be me because DH makes more and has clients on the west coast so he can’t do afternoon pickups.

It wouldn’t be forever. There’s good reason to believe child may be able to transition to a supportive program in our local high school.

It would be for 3 years. Then I could likely transition back to full time.

It’s rough to go part time on top of paying for private school tuition. Other families we’ve befriended have nannies to handle pick up. So we are going to end up paying either way.

This is the right choice. It’s just hard. I never thought I’d be the kind of person whose self worth was tied up in job stuff but this one is tough. [/quote]
