[quote=Anonymous]When I was in HS I started thinking about how I might have a career that accommodated working at home so I could better balance work/kids. Early in my career I watched some co-workers who seemed miserable managing work + babies and that made me think that I'd want to be at home for the first three years. I also paid a lot of attention to the vendors/freelancers we worked with who seemed to have figured out how to WAH.

Ultimately, I did SAH with my kids until the youngest was in kinder. And did occasional freelance work throughout that time. When I returned to work FT it was with flexible hours and one WAH day per week (post covid I'm 80% WAH).  And, when the kids got to MS, DH pivoted to WAH full time so somebody would be around every day after school.

I wouldn't give any career advice to a 5 year old who is likely to cycle through many ideas over the years. But with older kids I would emphasize that it is smart to think about different options within your career. [/quote]
