[quote=Anonymous]I think funded college is important. Starting life with debt is crippling. But I think ideally one parent should be flexible and around for kids, assuming the parent is happy to be there. My mom stayed at home until I (youngest) was 5 and then went back to work in a career where she had some flexibility. My dad worked a lot. But because of my mom, I almost never came home to an empty house. And my dad was very present with us when he was home. I’m not sure how much it matters though- my sister and her husband both have intense careers and their three kids are great kids, now teens and twenties. My sister is a very involved parent and my parents are always willing to help. So maybe it’s about quality of time over quantity. And also about luck of the draw - some kids are just harder to parent than others. [/quote]
