[quote=Anonymous]I’d say do what you want to do, not what you think you should be doing or what people are telling you to do because you have a degree. I work PT with 3 kids and wished I’d just stayed at home for most of those years. iME, I’m not taken seriously career-wise and no one is advancing at all by working PT. I’ve had about 6 nannies over the last 5 years, even though i pay towards the top of the pay scale. No one wants to work PT, even if they start out wanting to initially. It is a waste to pay someone full time so you can float a PT job, but I suppose that would have made the nanny situation more stable. Play dates and doing anything is a challenge. SAHM all gather at the drop of a hat and I just can’t do that. Either work FT, get benefits and the experience you need to advance your career or stay at home, enjoy your kid and ramp up later. That’s my $.02 from actually living it. [/quote]
