[quote=Anonymous]I think it depends on a few things: how important is your career; whether you want more children; future opportunities for advancement. I'm in a similar situation. I'm currently a postdoc in a great lab, which includes a wonderfully flexible boss. I could apply for tenure-track positions now, but have decided to wait at least a few years so we can (hopefully) have another child while I have this flexibility. My rationale is that I can still do good work, and it's worth it to me to be there during my daughter's very early years. Between my husband and I, one of us was with our daughter full-time her first year, and neither of us would trade that for the world. I think that time is so crucial for later development. All that said, I think women should do what's best for them and their families. If I didn't want more kids, I may act differently. Good luck, whatever you decide. [/quote]
