As with all things though, evaluate your unique circumstances, and find your happy medium. It is a happy 'present' parent that makes a happy well adjusted child. This has no bearing on the amount of time, totally on the quality of time. So if you are happier or more satisfied working full time or part time, this will have an effect on your child/ren. If you are happier or more satisfied at home, this again will be passed on. Take into account all areas of importance to you; financial, your time, career goals, educational goals, social and friends, family, childrens needs, health, lifestyle and recreation/holidays, then make your informed choice.
