I prefer to have her stay home for a year but respect her wishes in the end. I think she’s just afraid of losing this job because she likes the people she works with.

Benefits wise, she doesn’t get any because it’s a 30hrs/wk part time position. She can do hybrid wfh a few days so it’s not like the baby will be away for 8hrs a day every day.

It does seem like a waste of money if we’re only having her in the daycare for 50% or less of the time we’re paying for though. [/quote] Having a job like that is an excellent balance.  Plus having a job where you like the people, is ideal.  The extra time you are paying for daycare also gives you flexibility.  Don’t think of it s just dollars and cents.  I have done sah, woh full time and woh part time - and working 30 hours is the sweet spot.  It’s worth it for everyone. The studies that show issues with children in daycare are the one where the children are there more than 40-45 hours a week.

Figure out your strategy for when the child is sick.  Generally, taking turns works best. DH and I would do every other.  [/quote]
