[quote=Anonymous]I have 3 kids. My youngest is 6. I stayed home until she was 5 and then went back to work. I am now pregnant with my fourth. To be honest, it was a surprise. So, I'm trying to figure out whether I want to go back to being a SAHM, or hire a nanny, or do daycare. I enjoy my job, or I did before the pandemic, and it was a really good fit with parenting with the number of hours I wanted etc . . . , but right now with the exhaustion of pregnancy, and the challenges of both working virtually and dealing with 3 kids in virtual school, I'm tempted to quit. I guess I just want to hear what other people have decided in similar situations. I'll add that I loved staying home with my kids, and my kids thrived, but I have plenty of friends whose kids thrived with daycare or nannies. Financially, my job doesn't pay very well, so I'm not sure we'd come out ahead with me working and a nanny. [/quote]
