[quote=Anonymous]No question I don't have "enough" to do now that kids are in school. So I play tennis when I'm not working part-time or taking care of my house. But I'm willing to be "nonproductive" some of the time because I would never in a million years have farmed out the care of my babies, toddlers, and preschoolers to a stranger 40-50 hours a week. That is just creepy, not to mention selfish and irresponsible, unless financial need absolutely dictates it (and mine didn't). So I work part-time as much as I can (I'm a lawyer and I have managed to keep up a steady flow of contract work), but I will never say yes to a job that will require me to be unavailable to my children when they are home sick, or on vacation, or home for the summer, or want to go to extracurricular activities, or need help with homework in the evening. Life, and childhood, are too short.[/quote]
