[QUOTE="kiwi pom, post: 8069972, member: 946"] 100% this (y) Covid has forced a lot of change on a lot of people, its understandable that many will have had their outlook on life changed and have realised you don't always have to tear round like a headless chicken, we're only here once. We do fine with one of us working fulltime (currently Mrs KP) and the other staying home looking after the kids and the house and generally trying to make life as easy as possible for the one working. I do bits and pieces as they come up as long as they can be worked around the kids. No mortgage, no debt and some savings. If you work out what going to work costs in terms of transport, child care (no other family in the area) and generally doing things less efficiently at home because you're just too busy, it doesn't stack up. Plus I'm fecking lazy and don't particularly want a fulltime job, I'd rather spend time with the kids and cart them round to all their sports etc. Once they're done with school I can work until I'm knackered. Of course if the right job comes up or I need to go back to work I will. [/QUOTE]
