[quote=Anonymous]Save up as much as you can now. Your future potential husband may not realize how much it would cost to go back to work and send the infant to daycare($3k-$4k). Also,  the minute the kid is around other kids, the fun begins with constant colds. The first 2 years of my kiddos lives I have saved on every possible thing.  I breastfed my children so I havent spent a penny on formula. I also co slept. The clothes were given to me by my friends. I only bought carseat and a stroller.The first real bed - when my son was 2. Oh and diapers of course. Infants travel for free, so we took advantage of that and flew often in off season times.
With that being said, I was not a SAHM. I was an adult college student, then I began working PT with a nanny (she ate all my earnings.)

With the second - I stayed home for a year, brestfed him, co slept, clothes from my first one, etc. When he turned 1, I went back to work and had a combo of nannies, home daycares, friends helping out.

Motherhood is not easy in US. I dont know how women leave the newborns in daycares. Its so sad. You need a village to raise a kid. If your family is around, ask them for help. I am planning on helping my future grandkids as much as possible. [/quote]
