[quote=Anonymous]I would never quit. I like knowing that if my husband drops dead I can support my family. (think of all the books we read growing up where the mom was single and couldn't earn an equal salary - if you quit work for 5-10 years, you start over again - maybe even behind someone with a fresh education). My kids see us as a team - equal partners. Or more, if my husband or I loses our job, the family can still go on on one salary. Again, each family is different. My husband has turned down promotions to keep sane hours. He is the parent who picks up the kids. I'm also not pushing to hard at work. I figured I can start climbing the ladder again in the 45-50 range, when I'm at my peak earning potential - plus my kids are gone and house paid for (I had kids late 20s/barely 3). [/quote]
