[quote=Anonymous]I’ve raised two kids and a third is almost through high school. I can’t believe that working moms and moms who are full time caregivers to their kids are still fractured like this. I worked (part-time in a high stress, high pay job for many years, now a work from home mom) used daycare, used aftercare, had a lovely sitter, and a husband who became a full time caregiver. I self-imposed limits on hours in care - max of 30 hours a week, less when they were younger (like 25 hours). That worked for our family, any more was exhausting and counterproductive. My husband and I definitely raised our kids, we just had help that’s all. It was never easy. Working from home is a huge improvement though. [/quote]
