[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So many women on DCUM   claim to be highly educated, but they are not clever.

I waited to have my child (SMC) until I had enough saved to pay for childcare.  It was not my employer's responsibility. I also worked out an exchange with a co-work er who worked a different shift.  Ya gotta be clever.

When we were school aged, my mom worked 9-3  on school days, plus 8-4 Saturdays.  She loved the schedule; as she could do the bookkeeping and payroll on Saturday  in a relatively quiet office.   On Saturdays, we  kids were  watched by Dad, did our homework, watched TV, helped Dad make pancakes, helped with the yard work, did our chores, rode bikes with dad to 7-11 for slurpees, etc etc etc.

My parents did not  have children until there was money in the bank to pay for childcare until school-age.

You know, clever.

Even if people wait, like we did and save sometimes its still not enough nor does everyone trust others with child care - I've seen some horrible stuff.  Child care would have been more than my take home for one child so I quit.  People complain that there are not enough people in my profession but that's because many of us quit or go part time once we had kids.  You make it sound easy.  My husband works early mornings/evenings and will now have a 2-3 hour commute on top of that so there is no flexibility during the week.  And, we don't need child care, its the teenage driving.  You are looking at it as just school aged kids but MS and HS kids also need parents help.[/quote]
