[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]DH and I have flexible and interesting jobs and one child. We don't worry about money and each have time to relax. Not surprised studies show women with one child are happier than women with no or multiple children.[/quote] +1 and I also have two sets of local grandparents who are lovely. And enough funds to outsource a lot of stuff. I'm pretty happy and would HATE being a sahm.[/quote] +2. It’s really the second child that makes life very complex. I have two, and were it not for some flexibility in my job and involved grandparents, I would quit. With just one, I wouldn’t need any of those things really. [b]Honestly, we need more PT options in this country, especially in competitive fields like law, finance, consulting. And I mean real PT options, not poorly paid ones or ones that are stealth FT jobs.[/b][/quote] This right here. People are like "just go part time" and that doesn't really exist in my field. I would probably still work full time for less pay. [/quote]
