[QUOTE="skeeter, post: 412041, member: 439"] I was "on my own" from the time I was 20. When I had my son, at 29, of course I went back to work after maternity leave. I was scared that the (now ex) wouldn't be able to take care of us, and I could. But I soon realized (the ex was doing a LOT of traveling for work, being gone 3 weeks at a time) that I couldn't do it all - give the job my all and my son my all. One of them had to give. In my case, it was the job. I did volunteer work during the years I was a stay at home mom to keep my hand in my profession. I also kept in contact with my past co-workers. Such that when the ex came home unemployed, I was actually back to work within 10 days - that was after being a stay at home mom for 8 years. By that time the kids were in 4th and K so it wasn't so hard to go back (although I missed the volunteering at school with the youngest that I did with the oldest). [/QUOTE]
