[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Daycare allows my spouse and I to both work lower stress jobs and spend individually more time with our kids.  We're both layers and left biglaw for different public interest jobs.  Of one of us stayed hole the other could make more income working a higher stress  job, but this allows balance.[/quote]

I posted about feeling guilty, and we're NOT lawyers, so we can't live comfortably on one (five figure) income...but I like your perspective. We do have pretty unimpressive incomes for this area in part because when we've been able to prioritize flexibility and reasonable hours, we always have. So maybe day care is the cost of having two otherwise involved parents who rarely have to work nights or weekends, and have some flexibility for school hours, sick days, etc. Thanks! [/quote]

Sorry for all the typos.  I was typing while waiting in line at the drugstore.

But basically, me not staying home lets my husband also be the dad he wants to be.  It's important to keep that in mind.  Putting all the finances on one spouse so the other can work.can actually end up stressing both out.  You have to consider what is best for both parents and kid(s).[/quote]
