[quote=Anonymous]Anyone stay home for the first few years even though it was big sacrifice financially? I don't think not will be a sacrifice personally and TBH it might save us money because I'll adjust to cooking more at home and cleaning myself vs now we have expendable income.

None of our friends have stayed home and we don't have any examples. I work overnights so I'd have to be gone all night and then have help so I can sleep during the day and I just don't think I'll be okay with that time split vs when she is in school anyway during the day I can sleep then and pick her up and have the afternoons and evenings. A little more than half my salary would go towards childcare and that just doesn't seem worth it for us. I can also try to shift some of my work to virtual and try to make up some income that way.

I just know if I bring this up to our friends they will say I'm crazy and to just stick it out. But in my line of work I'm not losing earning potential. I can enter full time in a few years and be able to charge what I charge now or going rate and it will be fine. I can also attempt to go very part time and try to work 1-2 nights and time it so DH can watch DD while I sleep.
