[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Agreed with the above. Look for someone who having a family is a priority. As you are getting serious, you can have the conversation about staying at home/vs working. I was a daycare kid from 3 months on and my MIL stayed at home. I l love and respect my mother- she is my best friend- but there were so many times in my life that I wish she was home with us.

My kids are 6 and 9 and I'm now thinking about going back to work for a few years before high school sets in.  I don't want to go back into my former high powered career so I'm thinking of something like working at a doggie daycare. I figure I'll just throw the money in a pot and we can take a fabulous vacation once a year. [/quote]

This post is ridiculous on a number of levels I'm sure the poster doesn't even recognize.[/quote]

It might be ridiculous to you but it resonates with me.

My Mom also worked and I was in aftercare and summer day care almost my whole childhood. I was a latchkey kid too early, in retrospect, and the trouble that I got into both big and small wouldn't have happened if I had a parent at home (or parents who weren't compelled to save a a buck and ditch the aftercare too early). My MIL was around after school, and I think the situation was a better one for many reasons. I plan to emulate it and should be able to because I work part time for myself.

I also see the wisdom in going back before high school, because it's not just a trite saying that they really need you in the high school years. I want to be around at that time. I'd argue that many kids really need an adult presence at that time -- to drive them to activities so they can do more activities, to keep them out of trouble, just to have someone there.

If PP wants to and can financially swing a "little" job like working at a dog day care (and let's presume she brings this up because she likes dogs and would enjoy that) I think that's wonderful. She could make $10-$20K for that year and it would allow for a good vacation if they otherwise don't need to put it to bills. And OP can socialize and get out and do something different a few hours a week.

It might not work with your life, but why is that ridiculous? [/quote]
