[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm pregnant with my third and have no desire to be a SAHM. I make over $250K, am fully remote and work a lot with Asia and the West Coast so have a lot of flexibility during the day, have an amazing FT nanny, and really like my job. From a financial standpoint, I would never recoup all the lost earnings if I left the workforce now (even if I planned to only be out until my youngest was in K) and from a personal fulfillment standpoint I would be unhappy. I feel like I get the best of both worlds now and I am so grateful that I feel very little/no guilt about my choices. I also have two girls (third child's gender is a mystery) and am aware of the impact that having a working mother has on girls in particular. But you do you OP. I wouldn't judge a parent (male or female) for their decision on this topic, it's very personal. [/quote] I am very similar to you. Love being able to WFH and spend a chunk of time with the kids. I often take a long lunch break so our nanny can eat lunch in peace and have some downtime to plan activities or playdates.[/quote]
