[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yes, I was part time for 10 years while my 3 kids were young. Then I ramped back up to full-time. I am so grateful that I was able to be part-time. It had downsides, but at least I did not feel guilty for being away from the kids so much. I'm now 55 (with 3 kids in college), and working full-time as an in-house counsel at a corporation. I could ramp up my career at this point if I would like, but I'm happy with my salary and work-life balance. In the future, my goal is to work until 65 and allow my 2 daughters to be SAH moms if they would like, and help them financially if they need it. (This is a variation on the grandparents providing childcare while the mom works. Instead, my goal is to be the grandparent who works, so that the moms can take care of the kids.) [/quote] That is so generous of you. [/quote]
