[quote=Anonymous]I worked full time in a promising career for almost 8 years after college and then decided to SAHM when I had my DC when I was 30. I went back to work when DC was 8 out of necessity (DH had a major job change with lower pay due to a permanent disability heath issue) and I regret it every day. I missed a lot of the fun after school activities and field trips and had to juggle appointments, sick kids and holidays with limited time off. My DC suffered terribly making the adjustment from pick up after to school to going to aftercare until 5:30. My career took a long time to take off again and I had to basically start over in jobs I was overqualified for until I made it to the high level I am at now. However, looking back I would have been incredibly bored and wished I had thought about doing part time from toddler hood. That would have kept my resume updated and my mind sharp. [/quote]
