[quote=Anonymous]I was a teacher and then curriculum developer before my 2 kids were born.  When my youngest was in 1st grade I took a short term contract for three months to test the waters in going back to work.   DH has pretty flexible hours but the amount of money I was being paid and him needing to be home at 4  or 3 when school/clubs were over was tough on him as he's in a large office where people come in late and stay late so he often had to call in for 5:00 meetings.

My kids are now 11 and 14.  I last worked full time 15 years ago.   This is my first year substituting in the neighborhood school.  I usually on;y sub two days a week.  In know I never want to be back in the classroom full time and we don't need the money.

I'm done volunteering/working for free but I want to be home with my kids during school holidays and summer so I will stick out subbing until my youngest goes off to college.  Once I have an empty nest, I don't know what I'll do.  We are a high HHI family so DH talks about retiring and travelling for months on end.

I do have a few SAHMs still, but many have returned to work.

I'm lonely some days and find it harder and harder to make friends as old friends move away.  I would love some casual/flexible job just to be around people.  [/quote]
