[quote=Anonymous]I enjoy working full time but both DH and I have flexible schedules. Both kids are in school and do activities so if you can swing a flexible schedule, we don't rely on childcare very much and it works out. My beef with women quitting is that it is assumed that the person who needs to be involved is the mom and that is NOT the model I want for my family. My husband takes on just as many sick days, appointments etc. as me, he also volunteers at their school and is coaching/has coached multiple teams for both of them. I don't see that happening nearly as much as families where the mom stays home. It may exist, just saying I don't see it. I actually don't just think it's just bad for the kids, I think it does a number on the dads as well and don't think it's healthy or fulfulling.

My two cents: stay in the workforce and see if you can scale back or get a flexible schedule, and continually evaluate to ensure your husband is happy as well. I feel like women have the luxury of making these decisions and men just don't, and I like I said, I think it's really harmful. [/quote]
