[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] but in my opinion, the best setup is to work until your oldest is at least 10, and when you have a lot of money saved for retirement and fully funded their college accounts, then "retire" to be with them through their teen years. The younger years are the easiest to outsource. By the time your oldest is in elementary school, you should be in a position in your career where you can make demands, like reduced hours and WFH. By middle school, if you've done well, then retire to be a full-time SAHP with financial security. [/quote] +1 agree with this. I've been "retired" since my kids started high school and it's been so important - socially, emotionally, and academically - to be present for it all. If I could have stayed home from middle school, I probably would have had a better handle on helping them getting ahead of executive function/studying/organizational skills so critical to HS years.
