If it was absolutely necessary keep working. Sounds like you will burn out fast. I'm a stay at home mom. We need the money, but daycare for a 3 year old and 6 month old would be my whole check. So I stay home. Figure out how much it cost to work-health, wellnes, daycare, gas, clothes, etc. If it is more than what you make or close to it, it not worth it. It is a hard decision. We cut back whenever we can. We hav a smaller house, only 1 new car, 05 for me and the kids, 88 truck for my husband. I could not tell you the last time we went to a movie! It works for us. Find out what works for you.
Reply:Try to stay home if at all possible, but if you really can't afford it, try not to feel too guilty, and work out a plan with hubby that will get the two of you on solid financial ground as soon as reasonable so you can quit.
Reply:Maybe you should be discussing this with your husband, not here.
Reply:I think you need to talk to your husband and see if you can afford to quit your job. If you can than by all means quit and spend time with the kids. Unless of course you wnat to work. If you own your home then maybe you can start taking care of some kids in your home to make some money that way and still get to see your kids and husband.
Reply:Welcome to my life, only add 12 credits of college courses, and make the kids older. lol Sometimes it's just not worth it to go to work if you can make it on one income. Before I became an NCMA it was useless for me to get a job because they were all minimum wage. I'd be working to pay my sitter and that was it. So I was a stay at home mom. Now I work part time at the local police department for $10 an hour (not was I went to school for mind you), and I go to school full time to finish up my degree. But my kids are school age, so they spend 5 hours there and only a couple at the sitter's. Makes for a much cheaper day care bill. I say stay home, or find a different part time job. One that only requires you for a few hours a day. Good luck!!
Reply:you should talk this over with your husband, because I think you aren't "ready" to go back to work yet.


If he is even working two jobs, maybe that's enough.


I am a single mom, I work two jobs from 730 am til 10pm some days.


I work 6 days a week.... I do it cuz I have to.


if I had a husband... I'd make him work, women have so many home responsibilities, it isn't fair for us to have to work and be mothers, and wives, housekeepers, cooks, etc...


but you can thank women's lib for that!
