Perhaps I misinterpreted the question...

Yeah I think most of us are on the same page here, re spending the extra time with our children - most of us here started doing daycare so that we could spend every minute possible with ours.

I remember watching a 20/20 or something a few years back, and there was a whole panel (15+ people) of mothers who said that the main reason they work outside the home is NOT for the money, but for the break they get from their children. Nice.
