[quote=Anonymous]Im not reading the other posts. OP, I’m an atty. I always thought that I’d want my atty lifestyle and career until baby came along. After the birth of baby #1, I opted to quit working and stay home full-time to care for the baby. I never thought that I would be a stay at home mom but like you I didn’t want to leave the care of my child to another person. Luckily, my DH was 100% supportive and relieved that we wouldn’t be looking for childcare. We did not have the income or net worth that you seem to have so it was a SERIOUS struggle for us initially. But if we - a couple living on 1 low income paying back student loans with no parental assistance - can do it, why can’t you? After 2 years, I did opt to return to work, though I ended up working for myself which was much better. I’m sad to think that there are so many people who don’t support mother’s in this. You should be able to care for your kids FT if you want to[/quote]
