[quote=Anonymous]OP here. I'm not sure if I was clear above. If I take the job as-is, the child care and salary come out basically even. If I can convince them to let me work 3 long days and one half day from home, I can keep the infant home two days and save a little that way. In that case, I would be earning $5000 a year over childcare expenses, or $416 a month before commuting costs, etc. I agree with the PP that there is value staying in the field (and hopefully working up a little) so that when the kids go to kindergarten the take-home will be more. But I also wonder, as another PP does, what the cost is to my kids in the short term. And it sounds crazy to frame it as "I am away from my kids 40 hours a week in exchange for $100."[/quote]
