[quote=Anonymous]We started as a dual-income couple 29 years ago, but as soon as our baby started getting sick at day care and we did the which-one-of-us-will-stay-home dance a few times, we realized it was unsustainable. DH is a lawyer and we knew his schedule would only get more demanding. We also knew he had much more room to earn. With a second baby in the plans, I quit and went freelance.

That decision allowed DH to flourish and maximize our family income. Did I miss having a steady income and office colleagues? Sure. But I'll never forget being at a friend's house with my toddlers, hanging out with her three kids and nanny, while my friend called from an overseas work trip to check in. She was tired, hormonal, finding it difficult to pump breast milk and store it on a plane, and she burst into tears. At that moment, I knew nothing could get me back into the full-time rat race while my kids were growing up. And I'm someone who was sure she would always work.

If your daughter already knows what she wants, kudos to her.[/quote]
