[quote=Anonymous]I often think about going part-time, but there is something I learned on DCUM - going part-time only works against you: you will just be doing the same job in less hours for less pay! So, if you're going to work, you might as well do full-time. I personally found this to be true because I worked part-time for 8 weeks at the end of my maternity leave - I did everything in those 3 days. Nevertheless, I still came back full-time. If you don't care about any of that, it's either go part-time or quit. It is REALLY hard to find a balance, and some days I wish I just had more time at home with my DC. But, I also have to consider my own happiness. I want to work. And right now, I have a pretty sweet flexible job. And I also think, even if I were a SAHM, I would STILL not have my child all the time because I would definitely want to volunteer on a structured basis. I can't imagine ONLY taking care of a kid.
