[quote=Anonymous]I left my job when my oldest was about to start middle school. My DD needed me more at that age (to talk to, review homework, etc.). My job had become more stressful with longer hours so I decided to leave. Our home life immediately became more harmonious. An opportunity came up a year later and I went back - huge regrets. I wish I'd negotiated part-time. Younger child was about to start middle school when I went back and it was a rough time. Both are in HS now and rarely get home before I do. We all enjoy the financial benefits of 2 incomes (school trips, summer activities, vacations, private school). If I had a "do over" I would've stayed home till both were in HS. While SAH I would plan for a 2nd career (by getting certifications, taking online classes) in the event I couldn't get back into my field. [/quote]
