Re: Kids are more important than careers       07/13/05 09:49 AM Edit Reply Quote michele Reged: 06/02/03 Posts: 6886 Loc: southeastern michigan but thats just my opinion. I've never had a "high position" career or anything. I've always worked in dr's offices. I'm not good at math but relatively smart. If and hopefully when, my hubby's business makes enough money, I will not work outside the house. My hubby just started his own business about 2 years ago and we still need my income right now. Its my dream that when I finally have a baby (hopefully very soon) that I won't have to go back to my office job and can stay at home and help Will in his business. That way, I'd still be there all the time for my child. Worse case scenario for me is that we will still need my income but I work for a very small office and have 2 full days when the dr isn't in and its pretty quiet most of the time, so on those two days, I'd bring baby to work with me. There are several other small business in the plaza I work in and a lot of the women do this. I'm hoping Will could watch baby one day during the week, although that would mean he would have to work a little more on the weekends. But that way, baby would only have to go to day care one or two days a week. I think if you find the right place, it can be a good expierence. As I mentioned before, I don't have family close by or friends with kids so I feel a day or two a week would be good for the baby to get out and learn social skills and interact with others. I guess only you can know whats best. Would you end up resenting a child if you had to give up a career? Would you be happy being home all day, some women would go stir crazy. Personally, if money wasn't an issue, I'd stay home but you have to do whats right for you and your family. If your husband makes enough to support the family, than I wouldn't worry too much about your job later, those things have a way of working themselves out! -------------------- Taking it one day at a time.....
