[quote=Anonymous]OP here. To answer the questions

We had a big talk about this twice. We didn’t have to run numbers because I make more than enough for her to stay home and we have saved most of her salary before having having a child. We have talked about various options, how long she would want to stay at how, what kind of care she is most comfortable having, etc. She would in ideal world work PT ( 3 days a week) and have a nanny, but she is in direct contact with patients all day - NP - working in minute clinic seeing all types of Illness, and she also worries that we will not be able to find a PT nanny. We had two friends who did something similar and they couldn’t keep a PT nanny. My wife doesn’t want to put our baby in daycare, and the daycares we have looked into, all require certain PT days that may not work with her schedule. She had talked about quitting her job or extending her maternity to 4 or 6 months, but she does worry she will miss having adult interaction.

I told her that the decision is up to her. I’m comfortable with whatever she wants to do - staying home, working PT, taking an extended maternity leave, etc. We have had smaller talks about it since and she expects me to make the decision for her. She gets annoyed when I tell her I can’t decide what she feels is best for her. I don’t want her to feel like I’m making the choice and telling her she needs to go back to work or that she needs to stay home. She needs to be happy with the choice she makes and decides.
