[quote=Anonymous]A couple of things: 1. DH and I were among the last of our friends to have kids so we had plenty of people to give us advice (and hand-me-downs). 2. I had just finished grad school while working FT so I was used to not having free weekends to just lounge around. 3. We had time to save money and buy a house so we were financially secure. 4. I had been working for over a decade at that point and was with the same company for 5 years prior to the birth of my first child so had seniority and flexibility to cut back on my work hours. 5. Both DH and I chose careers/employers that would allow for a good work-life balance. 6. We are both from here and stayed in the area so that we had plenty of family around to help.[/quote]
