[quote=Anonymous]I am the breadwinner by a lot and always worked when the kids were young and it made me tired and sad. I didn’t even want a pause - I would have settled for a 9-5. Since my kids were in late MS, ive had tremendous control over my schedule and I’ve been around a lot more. I’m really glad I am more present now. They are teenagers are more independent but the ways they need me are more significant and can only be filled by me, if that makes sense. if you asked me then - I would have picked more time when they were little and back to work when they were older, but I’m really glad it turned out this way. So I guess my advice is build up career capital now so you can downshift later. [/quote]
