[quote=Anonymous]You’re young and have plenty of time for your salaries to go up. I am not a fan of daycare or a fan of using childcare for more than 30 hours a week, so I would prioritize being in careers where you have the ability to stagger hours, or else making sure you have family support. Also, make sure you and your DH are on the same page re: house and child responsibilities after baby. My friends and I never discussed this with our spouses. I got lucky with a very involved DH, but some of my friends did not, so they had to quit to SAH even though they really did not want to give up their career.[/quote]
