[quote=Anonymous]I did. I stayed at my current job but asked for an hours reduction. This allows me to work during the school day with a little occasional extra after the kids are asleep. My kids are both completely worn out after a full day of school and trying to behave. Aftercare every day would simply be too much. We have not had much luck with babysitters and I enjoy the extra time with my kids. It has meant staying in the same role for years, which of course is a trade off. For me it’s fine. I can’t imagine dealing with all the appointments and therapy otherwise and I preferred to do the childcare myself rather than managing a nanny and going through the hassle of potentially needing to try multiple to have a good fit.

We are ok financially without the additional money so my situation is a little different than yours. Can you find ways to trim your budget so things aren’t so tight? We live a lifestyle that is considerably below what you might expect for our HHI and keep monthly expenses (especially mortgage and car payments) low because private paying for therapy is $$ and it feels like it’s hard to know what the kids will need.

I’m glad I didn’t leave the workforce entirely. If you can find a way to stay employed I think that’s good ( if you want to and it works for your family). [/quote]
