[quote=Anonymous]I'll never have the money to have OP's dilemma, but wanted to comment on the "when to be around more" debate. It's not all or nothing (toddlerhood v. adolescence). I work a reduced schedule (32h, 1 day from home) so that I can be w/ my kids (3 & 5) more. I pick them up by 3:30 at the latest every day, and I plan to (hopefully) continue this schedule to be able to be home when they get home from school as they get older. The situation didn't fall in my lap. I worked my butt off to prove myself, then advocated for a flexible arrangement, and make sure I'm working beyond expectations. It's a financial sacrifice, so maybe we won't be able to afford a prestigious college, but I plan to be around to help them fill out the scholarship applications![/quote]
