[quote=Anonymous]I think it's really hard to judge from the outset whether you'd want to stay home. And really hard to judge after you've just had a baby. If nine months in, all you want to do is stay with DC, money be damned!, then great. I was able to go back 32 hours, which has been great for all around for our family. There are drawbacks, yes, but there are to any of your options. A consideration others have touched on: I'm looking to change jobs, and (in my field at least) most of the job postings have clearly stated they will only consider candidates currently performing the described work. If I'd stayed at home those first couple years, I would have fallen pretty far down my career ladder. Like, needing to go back to school or take an entry-level position. So perhaps also survey current job postings that you find attractive and see what the requirements are.[/quote]
