[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I stay at home. It's not all roses, but I figure that DD is only going to be with me full time for 3 years (then she'll start preschool part time) and that seems like such a short time out of our lives. I would hate to miss it and I know that, if I did, I would regret it later on in life. I love watching her grow and develop, being there for every first - first step, first "mama," first "no," and being the center of her universe. We are very fortunate that I do not have to work, finances-wise. [/quote] Your post brings up a couple of other good points. Are you planning to have only the one child? If more, you may be out of work longer than three years. Also, are you 24 or 39? Missing three years out of a thriving career when you are 15 years closer to retiremment is much different than stepping out of the work force when you may not even be in your ultimate career yet.[/quote]
