[quote=Anonymous]My husband and I both used to work freelance. We staggered our schedules, so like you, we didn't have to pay for much childcare. I think it's important to acknowledge that there is going to be more stress with that kind of set up. We worried a lot about finances, because it varied so much from month to month. There was also a lot more negotiation about work time and childcare time, since we shared the childcare. Since my husband worked from home, it often wasn't clear when he was working and when he was not working. However, I think it's important to appreciate the advantages as well. I really liked that we were both able to work and both able to spend significant time caring for our child. I miss that now that we have a more traditional arrangement. In your situation I think it's really important that you set enough time to communicate each week about how you will allot your time and money. [/quote]
