[quote=Anonymous]You need to seriously think about your future down the road and whether you will be able to re-enter the workforce. I think it's easy to under-estimate what this means for your long-term career potential. Of course, it may totally be worth it for you - and it's hard to even put a value on what it means to stay home with your child - but at the same time you need to keep your personal long view in mind, and whether you're okay with possibly never really developing a career if you're out for 5+ years, or coming back and being 10-15 years older (or more!) than someone doing your same job, and never really advancing much because you were out during some crucial years. You may be fine with that, but try to think about where you want to be down the road. Sometimes not totally checking out of the workforce but keeping a foot in the door is less risky. By thinking of yourself, you are also thinking about your child's future - don't forget that! [/quote]
