[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yes, that ^^ would make sense but of course we have prioritized his career (as the only career in our house) since I quit work to deal with our child's issues. So he feels like he needs to 'protect' his career and I agree, but I also feel like it is unrealistic to expect me to just jump back in to working life. I feel unqualified and have no professional contacts. [/quote] This is the real reason why a lot of (usually) mothers of very needs-intensive SN children can't or don't go back to work. You need to preserve the higher-earning spouse's career and it is so difficult for the at-home parent to ramp up a career with all the needs and responsibilities of a SN child, and maybe other children, on her as well. If a parent of a SN child can stay in the workforce, even part time, they should seriously consider it IMO.[/quote]
