[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here, my husband is on track to be a partner at his lawfirm so vacations are pretty much not in the cards (I was thinking I would probably say federal holidays and the week between christmas and new years as my time off).

We'll have paid off our mortgage and have saved enough to fund college for all three kids in another two years.  The plan was always for me to start staying home at that point (my husband actually wanted me to quit when we had our youngest, but I didn't think it was a good idea since we still had debt), so money really isn't a consideration.

Ideally I would only have one child (two if its a sibling situation) who would be in an infant/toddler so socialization isn't really a big deal.[/quote]

This is a strange plan to me. You didn't want to stay home with your own kids but you want to stay home with someone elses? I would find that strange. [/quote]
OP here, I don't want to quit my job in this economy while we still have debt (a mortgage and saving for the kid's college).  Although daycare is expensive, we still are able to save enough with me still working to be on track to have paid off the house in two years if I keep working.  If I quit and stay home, I think it would make my husband stressed out about being the sole provider (whereas when we're essentially living rent free in two years, his job would just need to support our living expenses, which would be under $1200/month since the kids wouldn't be in daycare anymore, so if he's unemployed for a few months its not a huge deal).  It might be strange, but its been our financial plan.  [/quote]
