[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I guess the question is, is there ANY sacrifice you want to make to avoid having your kids in daycare 40-60 hours per week since birth? I read all these justifications about retirement, vacation days, and a promotion and it all looks good on paper, but is there any value calculation to what your KIDS are losing? Is the concept of sacrificing some money and a promotion for kids you chose to have really not a consideration at all? [/quote] Well, my brother and SIL sacrificed their together time (and a lot of their personal time) to avoid having their kids in daycare -- my SIL worked a split shift in customer service, 7-12 and then 6-9 pm. My brother worked 9-5, so the kids were only in day care from 9-12 each day. It was very stressful but better in the long run than being out of the workforce altogether. [/quote]
