[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]Whichever makes You the better parent. [/b]For some staying home is the answer, for others staying home is a horrible choice. The thing you aren’t considering though is the choices most of us have in navigating our careers. Most of us do have a choice over 18 years regarding what our jobs will look like - work PT, FT, travel, no travel, make a ton of money, make good money that covers day care now, and college savings later, take a couple years off, come back, gun for a promotion, decelerate and take a WFH gig. The workplace today is actually much more flexible than it was 15 years ago. [/quote]

+1. SO much more important than simply SAHP or fully funded college. Which option makes you a better parent, is better for your family’s lifestyle and meets your kids’ needs? My parents both worked when I was growing up and they did fully fund college for me. But, I’m not close w them now because I felt no emotional connection to them bc I rarely saw them growing up. Whereas another family might have 2 working parents who are still very present and involved in their kids’ life or someone might be a SAHM and still not emotionally connected to their kids despite physically being present.[/quote]
