[quote=Anonymous]I took off for a year when my older two were 0 and 2, which I needed just to stay afloat, so I don’t regret it, but i don’t think my kids are any better off for it. I went back to work again with #3 when he was 12 weeks. My kids are now 6, 11, and 13 and I am planning to cut back immensely once I vest in my current job in June. I am really feeling the crunch now of time flying too fast, needing to be in too many places at once, the kids just really needing time with mom - dealing with periods and middle school drama and algebra homework and discussions of hopes and dreams and world events - things you can’t just outsource to aftercare. If you are looking to cut back altogether, that’s one thing, but if you are looking for a few years that matter most to be home - I would say middle school. [/quote]
