[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The answers to this entirely depend on your salary levels - in particular, yours. Do you make 70k? Or 250k? Savings also come into play.[/quote] This doesn’t matter. Here’s what matters: 1). How are the kids doing? 2). Do you have good childcare that you like? 3). If you quit your job or cut back, how hard is it to return to full time? 4). Is there anything that you like about parenting/homemaking? If kids are doing terribly, you have gone through three nannies in two years, it’s super easy to return to your job because of a high barrier to entry, and you love being at home playing with your children, then quit. If your kids are amazing partly because of your awesome nanny, you could never get this kind of a job again, and you love your children, but they are better in small doses, then hire an equally amazing housekeeper and stay.
