[quote=Anonymous]I’m on my third kid and gave up my dream and heavily educated in career for a mostly unrelated fed job in a family friendly agency. We also moved far out and to a cheaper house to be able to afford to buy on one salary so I could take lots of unpaid leave and work part time indefinitely. I’m at a full telework job that is boring but pays well, and I took unpaid six months leave with each kid and have nanny so I can breastfeed. Six months leave is amazing for bonding but also for my physical recovery. Dh is a fed so he can pitch in after hours and on weekends. Lots of trade offs. Not always sure they are the right call. I sympathize. My kids may very well resent their low 529 balances one day and my not appreciate all the cuddle time. Currently though snuggling my baby and can’t say I have any regrets.[/quote]
