    I voted for "I work and wouldn't change it". I pick Em up from DC between 2;30 and 2;45 everyday, so I still get a lot of time with her in the afternoon and evenings. If I worked later, I would like to change my situation.

    I voted "I SAH and wouldn't change it," but really my thoughts change pretty often. I usually love being a SAHM, but sometimes I miss my old job and I'm afraid I'll lose clinical skills if I stay home too long. I'd like to find some per diem work but I don't really know what I'd do about childcare if I were only working a few hours a week.

    I voted - pt/best of both worlds. I like the balance of staying home and working part time. I LOVE what I do and can't imagine giving it up. Plus I can dress up 2 days a week. I love picking up our son from DC in pumps. I feel like a hot mama ;)

    I voted I work an want to change it. I didn't see the PT option before I picked. I work 30 to 40 hours a week, depending on H's schedule. I'd give anything to SAH.

    Wish I could SAH. Not in the cards, right now, though. I'm a teacher so I have more holidays than most working moms.

    I put that I SAH and wouldn't change it, which is true for right now. I do plan to look for a per diem or part-time job that will allow me to work just 1-2 days a week, but I'm not planning to start looking until next year. We just moved cross country and want to get settled in here before we make any more big changes.

    I picked "I work PT - the best of both worlds".  When I'm not on maternity leave, I work 4 days a week.  I like working and the 1 day at home with LO is enough for me.  :)

    I voted 'work from home and would like to change it' because I work full time and I would like to go part time, which I hope happens in January.

    I picked WM but wish I could SAH.  That isn't entirely true though.  I don't think I could SAH full time.  I'd rather SAH and do  contract work part time, but our budget doesn't allow for that right now.

    I picked "I work and wouldn't change it" but I think ideally, I'd like to work part time and SAH part time. I didn't see an option for that!

    I picked "I work PT - the best of both worlds" - but really, it's per-diem, so only 1-2 days a week.  I SAH up until about 6 weeks ago, so it's been nice to get out just a couple days a week to work, but I still get to SAH a majority of the time :)

    I voted Work and want to SAH, but that's not entirely true.  I work FT and would love to work PT, SAH PT.

    I love to be a SAHM but not in cards right now. My job pays for me to attend college and I have good health benefits. Otherwise I would quite a long time ago! My job has made it possible to be student even though its only part time for now. I am thankful but wish I could be a little different.

    WM - would deff change if I could.

     I posted last week about a possible PT opportunity, but the pay ended up being so little it wouldn't be worth working after daycare Sad

    I chose work but I'd rather SAH, but it's not an option right now.  I have a good schedule (home by 2:00 2 days a week), but I would still rather be home with my kids all day.  I could settle for a PT job, but my entire income is needed at this point in time.
