[quote=Anonymous]I went PT when our first was born, and went back to FT when the last one left for college. My salary took a hit, but the time with family and the flexibility were 110% worth it. Not to mention the ease at which I could fit in grocery shopping, doctors appointments for me and the kids, making fun holiday traditions for our family, etc., etc. Think about it, on your deathbed, would the wish really be, "more money, more work," or, "more time with family?" There was one issue, the SAHMs considered me a working mom and the working moms considered me a SAHM, so in that sense I didn't really fit in. But all those random school days off, I was home (and hosted many kids in the neighborhood for a fun day); winter break - we traveled as a family (frequently to my parents who have now passed but lived in FL), summers - many weeks the kids were in camp, but we always took a 3-week vacation somewhere. Zero regrets[/quote]
