[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I see people on DCUM rag on SAHMs that don't go back to work  once their youngest starts school, but honestly OP, your question is exactly why I continue to stay at home.

Some of the PPs who have spread sheets and have to "cobble together" care for their children from multiple sources--it sounds so stressful.

Unless I really LOVED my career, or having me go back to work literally meant the difference between paying the mortgage vs. living on the street--it's just not worth it for my family.[/quote]

I disagree. I don't think it's that hard for everyone. My child's aftercare program is open during snow days, breaks and professional days. Camps run til mid August, then we take a week vacation and the last week is covered by a childcare center that my youngest attends full time.  I also have telework flexibility. I've worked hard to get to this point in my career and the flexibility has helped once kids came along. [/quote]

I'd say it is mildly stressful until my spreadsheet (I do it in excel) suddenly clarifies, and I can see how the year will work.  After that, it is fine (except for snow days.  I really hate snowdays)[/quote]

+1  another one here who does not do a spreadsheet, but maybe that's just bc my brain does not work that way .  I just have a big list in a word doc.  Do whatever method works for you.[/quote]
