[quote=Anonymous]OP Here -- thanks so much for everyone's responses. They've given me a ton to think about...and I really wanted to try to air out all potential scenarios, problems, benefits, etc.  And despite some of the punch comments, my kids and husband are actually at the forefront of my decision. My husband has pretty high stress, high hours job, and in order to support his career (and the high salary that comes with it), I am in charge of all things household and kid related. My job is much more flexible, and as I mentioned, I'm leaning out and not trying to work 50 hours a week. Having a full time job and running all aspects of our life is a lot, and frankly I want to be more present for my kids. A small example, is that I want to be able to take my kid to a doc appointment, and not feel like I'm rushing out of there, or constantly looking at my email seeing what I'm missing at work. I want to be the one who picks them up from school.  It feels like it would lower the stress of all of us in the house. I do appreciate the suggestion for part time work...I'm going to consider that more seriously. Thanks again for the replies! I know I'm in a fortunate position. [/quote]
