[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Here's my sample of myself and 6 best friends.

Me: Staying in a boring job for the flexibility. It pays well and I WFH 8-4, but can largely make my schedule and work around no school days, kids appts, etc.

Friend 1: Special Ed teacher. Honestly surprised she's stayed at her job. She has a high earning DH and a nanny, but she LOVES her work.

Friend 2: The breadwinner. Her DH has been the SAHD for 4 years.

Friend 3: Another teacher. Still working, kid goes to a home daycare.

Friend 4: Just left to SAHM after having their second with unexpected medical needs. High earning DH.

Friend 5: Hair salon owner. Only actually does hair maybe 10-15 hours per week now in the evenings and has hired a manager to run the salon.

Friend 6: MSW who is pregnant with number 3. Says she'll continue working but I don't really see how or why. 2 kids are in daycare and next year would be 3 in daycare til the oldest goes to prek the following year. High earning DH.

We need more teachers/people like Friend 1. I have a friend like this too, and honestly she is so much happier working (she's a high school teacher) and is a better mom to her kids because of it. They can live on her husband's salary, but she loves her job and her kids and her are both happier with their lives now and they've settled into a good school year routine.[/quote]
