[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Just a thought- I guess what it comes down to is earning potential over one's lifetime.  The 3-5 years of daycare may not be ideal to you- but it brought me an advantage.  2 1/2 years into it and I made much more than I had estimated I would have made.  I'm glad I stayed with my career because I had seriously underestimated my earning potential. My career is also my passion- which is something I'd had long before a family.
Like most things in life I don't think it's really quite as clear cut as either you stay at home and live on less or work and don't see your kid and make tons. Just because one decides to work doesn't mean you only see your kid on the weekends because they go to daycare.  It takes effort, but we stagger our schedules and our child is not in daycare 40hrs/wk. We do activities and have playdates during the week, too. [/quote]

Agree, problem is most career fields outside of government work require 60+ hr work weeks and neither of us has a desire to work in government or businesses that live off the government. Dual income government work is great, 90k+ income each on 40-45 hr work weeks, if you can handle the incompetence. [/quote]
