| Not surprisingly, money and stability seem to be recurring themes - neither one a strongpoint of the TEFL profession. So far in this thread, the posters who have had kids seem to be the ones who've found either or both. |

| Money confers financial stability. Might not confer other sorts, but it does help! |

Hmmmmm- What kind of benefits have they got?
The way I've been looking at it, if one of us got work at an international school, provided that it gave a substantial tuition break, we'd be good to go. ($900 a month ain't bad if it also saves you $500 a month on tuition. What about health insurance?)
Best,

| Probably half tuition, health care at a reduced costed, paid vacations. I'll see. Honestly, If I had my way, I'd be a stay home mom and just work 10 hours a week. |

OOOOH! Me too! ME TOO!
If there were any way I could afford to be a stay at home parent, I would be SO MUCH more convinced about having kids.
Regrettably, given both earnings and biology, if one of us did get to stay home...it wouldn't necessarily be me.
Best,
Justin |
