[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My husband and I both had really demanding jobs. With two small kids. I went down to very part time (15-20 hours a week) it has made a HUGE difference in all our lives. I spend the time time doing grocery shopping, cleaning, meal prep, doing random errands, taking care of house stuff we have been putting off forever. Now nobody has to take off work for doctors appointments-I just make sure to schedule them on my time off. I don't mind cleaning my own house because I'm not stretched so thin.

I actually have the time/energy to exercise now. Before I was so exausted and stretched so thin that I couldn't handle much of anything other than working, taking care of my kids and being fall down tired at the end of the day.

Oddly when I went to part time we actually started saving money because since I had more time to plan out meals we spent less on food shopping and take out/dining out and no longer need our house cleaner.[/quote]

Did you start part time day care or you keep the kids in day care full time while you catch up on house stuff? I've been wanting to go part time with work but most child care around here (at least that I'm aware of) only offers full time seats basically because they can. For us, we wouldn't actually save unless we found another child care scenario.[/quote]
