[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]

+1. Why are people assuming it’s either working out of the house till 5/6 pm or quitting completely to be a SAHM. I stayed home with my three kids till my youngest started kindergarten. When I started looking for work, I strictly looked for remote jobs since being available when the kids got home was very important to me. I work full time but log off at 4 everyday so I can take my kids to their practices. I can also take an hour or two off every week to volunteer at their school. Remote jobs can give you amazing flexibility. Middle school and high school kids definitely need you around but they are also at school for at least 7 hours everyday and I won’t know what to do with all that time. [/quote]
