[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What if you dropped the cleaning lady and your wife added some more part time hours? Would that help with finances?

[b]It really makes a difference for middle and high school kids to have a parent home in the afternoon for a lot of reasons, so that is another aspect to keep in mind.[/b]

Please take this to heart. It is true and very important [/quote]

I have two kids out of college and on their own. Two in college. One high school senior.  It is really important to have a parent home in the afternoons and evenings when you have teens.  I know not everyone can do it.  But if you can, it really matters. If I had to choose, I would work during the elementary grades and stay at home during middle and high school. I'm grateful that I was able to be at home. [/quote]

Why? I have two high schoolers now and we have dinner as a family almost every night. Why should I find a job that lets me get home at 3:30 instead of 5:30?[/quote]

I'm home by 3:45.  I like it b/c it gives me time to spend with my children.  We can discuss their day, and I don't feel rushed when I make dinner.  My kids are in upper ES and MS. So it's a little different, but even when they start HS, I'd prefer to be home earlier in the afternoons.  They still need a lot of guidance as teens. [/quote]
