[quote=Anonymous]I really liked have the flexibility of my long term but under demanding job when the kiddos were young. When they were sick I could take time off, leave early work from home. Job was full time. I got my job done but it wasn't the same as pre-kids in terms of intensity and my drive. I had plenty of vacation for trips, school activities, home needs. A great job for the time when your focus is on kids. When my oldest got to 2nd grade my DH's job got intense, extensive travel, weekend work, long day time hours. While his pay increased just enough to allow us to live on one salary for a while. So I quit my job and have been keeping the family on track. I was up for a promotion of sorts which would have increased my travel and time away from home (weekend and evening events) trying to balance that with my DH's schedule even with the job flexibility just wasn't enough for me (it wasn't much in the way of a monetary gain for us). I have to say being home right now is nice. But I am also wondering about whether I should go back part time when my oldest gets to middle school so I can keep on track professionally but be around for the crazy middle school schedule[/quote]
