[quote=Anonymous]NP. This is not something I say out in the world but I would gladly give up my independence so my children aren’t cared for by overworked, low-paid strangers with their own understandable triggers. I absolutely hate that it’s one or the other in our corporate cogwheel world but there’s no question what matters to me more. I was a low-income daycare kid and have no illusions about caregiving. I want to be able to look my kids in the eye and say I did everything I could to protect them from conflict, abuse, nervous system dysregulation and anxiety during those 0-5 years. I wish I could do that and take no career hit but it’s not possible. Luckily I’ll have some professional life to go back to, even if it’s not what it could have been. In my neighborhood there are many former bankers and doctors making the same calculation. But sure, we’re all idiots setting back progress. [/quote]
