    I would agree 're whether staying at work for long term gain is better

    Friend of mine was a teacher and took a career break when her daughter was born.

    5 yrs later her daughter is at school and she cannot get a teaching job for anything. The curriculum has moved on and to go back she would need to retrain but can't afford to do it.

    Had she stayed in teaching part time she would have been employable now.

    OP already said that wasn't an option. Not an option for most parents I know either as most parents still working.
