[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]She will soon outgrow the late nap, and stay up later. Focus on the good things: you are saving for retirement, providing healthcare, and extra income for college. See if you can telecommute or do AWS. Maybe look for opportunities at a different agency, or doing a different job for your agency.

Hoard money in savings and pay off all your debt to give you more flexibility.

If you try all that and still feel that way, maybe your husband can change jobs to make a little more money. If he loses his job, you use savings to COBRA or buy off the exchanges while one or both of you looks for a new job.[/quote]
?  not missing out on your 1 yr old's life is a good thing too.  As a mom of an older ES and  MS kid, I value those early years.  They go by super fast, and I really my babies even though I used to get home by 4:30.  I took time off with my first until he was about one, but went back FT with the second at 6 months, and I really wish I did at least PT with the second one until about 1 year.  I didn't get to spend that time with my second as my first, and I regret it so much. I barely remember my second's baby years.  Even with all this, I know I am more fortunate than most.[/quote]
