[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Middle school. [/quote] I think *flexibility* is extremely important when your kids are middle school age (eg being home when they get home, having the time to be involved in their life, drive them and friends to activities, etc.) but staying home full time? Nah. [/quote] This. I have a 5th grader and 8th header. I am home at 3 every day (well, pre Covid.). Kids get home at 3:30. Why do I need to be home beyond that?! I can definitely see the argument that late ES/MS/HS is the most important time to have a [i]flexible[/i] job, but I’m just not buying that that’s the most important time to be a SAHM.[/quote] This is true. I’m the PP saying if I were to stay home it would be once they hit middle school. But only because the OP specifically asked about SAH. In all likelihood I’ll keep working so long as my job remains flexible and allows telework/ability to be home when school lets out.[/quote]
