[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Go away, SAHMs, this is a thread for working moms to give advice. All of you reek of insecurity, and the PP trying to make SAH the same as early retirement is hilarious.

Retirement means no longer working. Oh wait, so that means you agree that SAH is not work? Tell me again about how today's SAHMs are so smart and educated. :roll:[/quote]

Clearly, realizing that "early retirement" isn't any different than any other type of no longer working for pay has sent you into a dizzy of bitterness, which clearly was right below the surface to begin with. I'm the prior poster, a former SAH that made/makes in the six figures before and after my five years at home with my kids.  Your insults don't bother me, I'm happy with my own decisions, just pointing out some obvious hypocrisy.

OP, don't be afraid to dial down for a few years if that is what works for you and your family.  It is no where near as difficult to ramp back up later as some posters here will have you believe if you do good work.

+1 OP is at a crossroads that many a professional parent has visited. There are several ways to turn. One path OP is implicitly considering is making it work for him/her by focusing more energy on the home front for a while. Hearing from people who got to that crossroad and chose the path home, and learning how it worked out for them, is important information to consider when weighing one's own options. It is just as important as hearing the schedules and outsourcing choices of those who are making it work another way.[/quote]
