[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Little kids need a full time parent, if at all possible.[/quote]

I am a FT parent...even when I’m at the office or traveling on business.

I’m with my kids 24/7 each weekend and every night. Most SAHMs I know have very active social lives and ditch the kids nights and weekends for girls night out, date nights, etc. They also spend a lot of time at the beer farm with kids in tow.

The grandparents cared for our babies until preschool. Now the kids have a strong bond with all 4 grandparents. Very strong. Think: teenagers who text and FaceTime the grandparents without prompting.

My kids are loved. They are also more independent/self-sufficient than their peers. They’re leaders, not followers. [/quote]
You owe all the grandparents tons of thanks. You know how fortunate you are, right?[/quote]

NP I had a similar setup as PP. I would not have worked if I didn’t have grandparent help. Fortunately, this allowed me to have the best of both worlds - continue my career, spend quality time with my kids, and let them develop close bonds with their grandparents. Quitting to SAH would have been sub-optimal.[/quote]
