[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have never believed that any part of my job or benefits or resume is more important than the time I spent with my infant and toddler children.[/quote] No one thinks their job or benefits is more valuable than their kids. People do however make strategic choices about their jobs in order to care well for their children over the long term.[/quote] I do. I have an identity and career that is separate from my children and I had no desire to stay home with them. I love them and I love spending time together, but I also love my job. My kids are with me full time for 20ish years. My marriage and career will last longer and I think it’s important to invest in those as well. I had 16 weeks paid with each child and I took it, but I was mentally and physically ready to go back at 10 weeks. [/quote] Thank you for your honest feedback![/quote]
