[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Nope.

Even if I won the lottery tomorrow, I'd work. Maybe not my current job but definitely something in my field. I love having it as part of my identity and the way I use my mind and my personality to get stuff done.[/quote]

+1. I’ve always believed children can learn from others - siblings, group care, grandparents. When I’ve been home for long stretches with my kids, I’ve felt we were all stifled. My kids have enjoyed group care.  The idea of staying home to make lunch and play all day would get very boring for me. I love using my intelligence and skills towards a larger common goal. I believe in my workplace’s mission. It’s fulfilling work.

I do have a very flexible job. I’m at all the school functions, doctor visits, and games. I wouldn’t want to work 60 hours a week. And I really would hate to have DH work 60 or more hours a week. He’s my favorite person. My working gives him the flexibility to work a job he loves that permits so much time at home. Only seeing him late at night and part time on weekends would suck. [/quote]
