[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here. A little more info. We have a two month old ( born in early March) and she first talked about extending her maternity leave from 3 months to 4 months and then 6 months. Then she talked about maybe going back PT or quitting. We are an older couple and plan to have start trying for the second child at 1 year.

My wife works in healthcare and I know she is worried about being in close contact with patients with a little one at home. I know she loves her jobs and PT would be the best of both worlds, but finding a nanny who can stay with us longterm or a daycare willing to do PT will be tough.

We can afford for her to stay home and daycare/nanny. We had a serious discussion about it a month ago and I told her it was her choice because I don’t want to feel like my decision is forcing her to stay home or work. I want her to do what she thinks is best without her feeling like i have a strong desire for any of the options. I don’t care what she decides to do as long as she is happy and comfortable with it. We have talked about it since then and she gets annoyed that I tell her it’s her decision and I’m fine with whatever she wants to do. [/quote]

Could you afford to pay for full-time childcare if she’s working part-time, even as a temporary measure?  That would make it easier to secure reliable childcare and would give her to flexibility to start back part-time if she wants and the move back to full-time if that ends up being her preference.
