[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]For us it came down to this formula: my income-daycare=not enough to make a major difference in our lifestyle[/quote] This was it for me. Plus I had a job that I knew I could go back to. [/quote] Same for us. When ours were very young DH’s company had a lot going on and he worked long hours and had to travel. I would have had to be the primary parent for everything and my job wasn’t flexible. It made more sense to step out for a bit. Agree with the others commenting about those in the 800+ income range being able to take a break if they wanted. It’s totally fine to keep working if you love your job and lifestyle. But you truly could stay home if you wanted. That’s a different situation than OP is asking about. [/quote]
