[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]OP, it's pretty clear from your posts that you don't want to work.  You are making excuses for why it won't work, but there are really straightforward solutions to all of them.  It's totally fine if you don't want to, but don't pretend it's not realistic to work.  [/b]That $70k/year full time job would more than pay for before/after care + summer camps, and you could do snow day camps and take sick days when your kid is sick (less and less as they age).

That said, if you are happy with the way things are, I wouldn't go back to work full time.  There is value in being able to get household stuff done during the week so weekends are family time.  There is a mental relief to not having to scramble to find care on snow days.  It sounds like what you have is working for your family.[/quote]

Yep. Nobody care if you don’t work OP. [b]But there isn’t some unicorn flexible high paying fulfilling part time job out there.[/b] Everything is a trade off.[/quote]

Of course they exist but not for the likes of OP who gave up working long ago. Her resume isn't up to snuff. You have to put in your dues for a long time for the super flex, high paid, unicorn jobs.

But they do exist. I have one and so does my husband. (I make ~ 250k, he makes 850k).[/quote]
