[quote=Anonymous]Just wanted to say, I can relate. We now have a 2 yr old and a 4 year old and since pregnancy with my first, I dreamed of staying home. DH loves his job and leaving it would mean leaving secure gov position, letting go of great health care and future pension, as well as very reasonable hours. However, his income isn't enough -we'd get by but we are already in just a small 2 BR with no yard so financially speaking, it would really limit us for the future. My dream would be to leave the area entirely and buy a house for half the price and stay at home with the kids. Its true what others say that your child will stay up later but I never really found a balance- working all day and eeking out just a few hours with them in the evening is tough and exhausting. I have a VERY short commute and still hate being away from them all day and only getting time with them in the evenings. Even on days when I stay home with them and they are sick, crabby, and needy, I find it infinitely more enjoyable than being at work and rushing through the evening with them. I wish you luck in finding a good balance. I am still trying to figure out how to do it! [/quote]
