But it still sucks that now I have to choose between having a job for which I'm grossly over qualified and being available to my family OR getting back on the career track and have to put DD in before and aftercare every day.

It's frustrating and I don't know which way I will go. It's a shame that I have to choose (no high powered friends in my circle).[/quote]

Hello...the rest of us have been making these choices since our kids were born.  I am tired of SAHMs re-entering the workforce and doing the woe-is-me about "putting their kids in aftercare" and "having their kids raised by nannies."  Nope, no sympathy for you here.

She is not asking for your sympathy. She is just stating that she doesn't want a job that forces her to put her kids in before- and aftercare. And the fact that there are no proportionally paying part-time jobs available is a valid criticism of our job market, and a point made in the article that this thread is about.[/quote]
