[quote=Anonymous]I absolutely make my kid a priority by working. We chose, between my husband and me, to have me continue working and front load as much of her college fund as we could. We'll be done when she's 10. That takes that load off. We chose, between my husband and me, to make travel a priority - not just for us but for our daughter. That's our value. We want her to see the world and consider that part of her education. We couldn't do that if I wasn't working. We chose to give each other the peace of mind that neither of us was financially responsible for our family; when my husband was laid off we didn't panic and didn't bring that into the house. Our kid never knew the difference because we have that flexibility.

I think people should do whatever works for them, but when people say I don't prioritize my kid because I work I think, "HUH?" I'm basically working for her at this point! If we didn't have her, ironically I wouldn't need to work. But she deserves the best education we can give her and the best experiences we can give her, etc. I work in a field that wouldn't overlook an absence of many years so that was factored in. [/quote]
