[quote=Anonymous]When my daughter was born I was 38. Stayed at home for 4 months and thought I'd lose my mind even though my husband travelled at least a third of the year and my daughter always seemed to get sick when he left on a trip. Going back to work was actually easier and more agreeable than staying at home. At least I got a lunch hour. The demographic on this board obviously skews young. Wait until you're in your mid-fifties and you try to combine work with the activities of a teenager. Sports practices in the summer at private schools run from 10 - 12 and then again from 4-6. Many weekend practices too. Then there's the non-sports activities and getting together with friends. Try squeezing all these things in and taking conference calls from the car or while you're waiting in carpool. I never thought it would be me but when I was 55 and we had the money for me to stay at home I jumped. Much better quality of life when you don't have the energy of a 30 year-old. [/quote]
