[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]As a parent with older kids, one hundred percent disagree that they need you more when they are older.  The only people who say this are those justifying  not being around much  in the early years or those justifying remaining at home.

Op try to find a way to get more kid time once your contact is complete.  You can't turn back time and the preschhol years are when you are the center of their universe.[/quote]

My kids are older too  -- in their teens and early 20s -- and I do think that older kids need their parents' guidance and attention more than little ones.  DH and I both  worked full- time until our third child was born.  We felt completely confident that our kids were well-cared for by our wonderful nanny, but I had an opportunity to go part-time and have never gone back to FT.  As the kids have gotten older, I've been really grateful to have more time to be with them.  Even -- or perhaps especially -- when they started going to school full days, the after-school time was critical in many ways.  My oldest is a high school senior now, and she may "need" me less, but I really treasure the time we have together.
