 Re: Why...
Believe it or not, I am listening and yes learning. Even my mom said that it's best that she put her priorities in order, and that is to care for her child.
I can see that...just can't see giving up ones career forever. When the kid becomes school age, time to go back to work. Strictly my opinion.
Pam's brother Roy, (my cousin, duh!) and his wife agreed on two kids. The first wasn't planned. The second was. He was in the marines when they met, she was in school, and working FT. He wanted them to be close in age so they are two years apart. She agreed because it would afford her less time out of school vs. if they were spread apart in age.
She took off from being a college student to be a FT mother. The youngest started school two years ago, and she is now working PT and going back to school to be a teacher.
I like that, I like that alot. But everyones situation is different, YMMV! |
