[quote=Anonymous]I'm 17:24. One thing I'll add as I'm not sure if it's been said before, the desire to be a SAHM is strong until your kids go to school. Once your younger kid starts school or preschool, are you still going to want to be a nanny? Or will you feel hankerings (as I do) to start working at a job, any job, and now law is starting to look pretty attractive again? I know it's hard being a working parent and being away from your baby. But you should take a long-term horizon perspective in making career decisions. DH earns enough to support our family and so I decided to be a SAHM because I did not like working as a lawyer. In hindsight, what I wish I had done is take a lower-paying lifestyle job in the law, maybe even freelance/contract so that I wouldn't have the CV gap. That way I would have been able to spend some time (not as much as I would have liked) with my baby, but still be able to have a career, which I am really really missing now.[/quote]
