[quote=Anonymous]This thread went off the rails into the usual SAHM vs WOHM debate. It's not what OP asked. She asked whether it seems more necessary to stay home when kids are older. I and some other posters tried to answer the question and said that if you can use your experience to make your job somewhat flexible to very flexible, this perceived need to stay home when the kids are in school becomes somewhat overstated because you'll have found a schedule that doesn't require you to miss much time with the kids. This doesn't mean you shouldn't stay home if you can afford it and think it would be nice. I have a few SAHM friends that think haven't gone back because the logistics seem really insurmountable and that just hasn't been my experience. There's obviously more planning and expense and some hassle than not working but not enough to forgo the 6 figure paycheck that our family can use. [/quote]
