[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] So I'll add: E. One parent with flexible FT job, one parent with PT work or self-employment, enough money to hire help when needed, splitting household duties 50/50 but childcare more like 70/30 to accommodate the fact that one parent wants to work a bit more and the other parent wants to spend more time with kids. That's where we are at and it's perfect.[/quote] This is DH and I too. I have a flexible job, he is self-employed so can be available when needed during the work day. But we also have family in the area who are willing to help with childcare so maybe we are option F. I think D sounds terrible (why even have kids) but I've seen B and C work well for other families. But for option B to work, I think you have to have a parent who really wants to SAH and another who stands behind that decision. I've seen that create a lot of issues for friends in that scenario.[/quote]
