[quote=Anonymous]I stayed at home for about 7 years and I am now back at work FT and my salary barely covers child care.

I am maxing out the 401k, and using the child are sending account, so I take one about 900 a month.

Totally worth it to me. I love bing back a work, and I am very relieved to be back financing my retirement.

OTOH I was home when my kids were infants and I really enjoyed that as well. Also, infant child acre is much more expensive.

I guess my point is, don't be too terrified to take time off. Yes getting back in can be difficult, although in my case it took only a few weeks, but I am so happy I had the chance to stay home when they were really small and I am quite happy to be back at work, although I will rely admit I am making less than when I left work! OTOH I have a grea flexible schedule,

What's my point? That there are so many Individual variables based on you and your situation that you should take all advice with a grain of salt and do what's best for your family.[/quote]
