[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think a better route would be paid maternity leaves and jobs that are easier to get back if you take a year or two off. Universal 3 year old program and pre-k. And then work hours that match daycare and school hours. Reduce work day to 7 hours and increase schooling. 8-3:30. A lot of us would willingly take a salary reduction even for hours that match our schools. [/quote] This is what I thought the thread was about when I saw the title. These are the things professional women want. I am a WOHM and I view my housekeeper and nanny as specialized workers. Yes, I could clean my house, but it wouldn’t be as fast or good as my cleaning lady. Yes, I could quit and stay home, but I don’t think I have the temperament to do it 24/7/365 like my nanny does. Could I do it if I had to? Yes. Could my boss do my six-figure-earning job if he had to? Yes. But we chose to hire out for a reason, and it’s not because we devalue the work.[/quote]
