[quote=Anonymous]I stayed home for the first year after my first kid was born (first mat leave, then shifted to fed govt and had a long wait for my clearance.) I knew it was not for me. I was mid 30s and it was just too late for me to comfortable without my own $$. That was 20 years ago. I've had multiple promotions and my salary has quadrupled. I enjoy what I do. Key for me was having some flexibility to WFH occasionally or flex my hours. I turned down a number of opportunities that might have enabled even more $$ and career growth, but that didn't have flexibility. I'm a very involved parent and my kids are basically my whole world. Same for my DH. I don't think they missed out on a single thing because we both worked.[/quote]
