[quote=Anonymous]To address the OP's question.  I actually went back to work when my oldest was 5 months old (school year timing got me the end of the year, and summer).  I worked one full year, and despite having a caregiver I loved (and boy did she love ds), I really was unhappy about being away from him.  The following year, I found a part time position, and for the last 7 years, have been working part-time in various positions, while needing minimal childcare for my 3 children.  Next week, I will be interviewing, and if it comes through, I will be returning to a full-time position for the first time in 9 years.  Our youngest will be starting K, and financially, we are just tired of finances being tight.  This area is so expensive, and living on one salary is hard, especially if the FT spouse/partner only makes around 100K.  I will say, I think the reason I got called so quickly to interview was because I continued to work, when I was home. (my part-time work either involved places I could bring my children, or was at their schools).  I have friends (also teachers) who have been off completely, and are finding a bit of a tough time even getting in the door, even with prior experience.  If you are really thinking of it, I would encourage you to find ways to keep up with colleagues, and find part-time work if you can.[/quote]
