[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You know, most kids want their parents around. It’s not just about need. Teens less so but they do appreciate there being a net if they need it. [/quote] It’s often possible to find a job that allows you to be home in the late afternoon when kids are getting home. It’s important to be around for kids but that doesn’t preclude working. For OP, is it possible to cut your hours or find something more part time? [/quote] DH has a very demanding job that also pays a lot. We have three kids in three different schools with different schedules, breaks and holidays. Between my last drop off and first afternoon pick up, I have 5 hours. I am not saying you can’t work. Of course you can. It is just a lot easier to juggle 3 kids if there is a stay at home parent. Every family dynamic is different. DH earned 10x what I earned. Now he makes even more. We don’t need my income.[/quote]
