[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I stayed home for a long time, so yes, I lost out on some raises, some years contributed to my pension, and yes, my overall income long term is less, etc. But for me, no amount of money was worth losing out on those days, months, years with my little ones. And when I say that, it isn't a slam on anyone else who does it differently, it's just what was best for everyone in my family. I'm back at work now and my family has everything we need and most of what we want. But if we're talking strictly dollars and cents in the moment, a nanny for 10-11 hours a day would have been more than my teaching salary and day care would have been a few hundred less. In my case, it wouldn't have mattered if I made 500K. I wanted to be home with my kids. [/quote] Kudos to you! As a teacher, that is a job that is fairly flexible for easily coming back to work after 2-3 years off. [/quote]
