Should I quit my job to stay at home with school age kids?
eveala14 asked:
Used to love my career of 15 years but now that my husband is doing great & we are both so busy with our mutually succesful careers there is always rushing & lower quality. Want to stay home w/ my 2 school age kids, prek & 3rd. Afraid that I will not get a similar high level position back in 2-5 years or not being able to make it financially. It will be a bid difference but do-able.

you can never get your children’s childhoods back…
i’d stay home with them if it is possible. unless your family is going to be extremely set back by you not working, stay home. your kids will thank you.

u should never quit the job. u need the money for the kids. its not good for your husband to make all money for u and the kids. its one way how to get broke and wont make it. but u should calitate the money u make and he makes and take out the money that he makes and with the bills and check to see if u can do that. if he cant afford it dont do it.

work out your finances. But remember you can always retrain to enter the work place but you only have one chance to watch your children grow

Can you get a job that’s school hours only?
I mean, you won’t BE staying at home with your kids, will you? They’ll be at school, not at home, for most of the day.
