[quote=Anonymous]I've done both. Worked with my first, but quit 115k job to stay home with the second and now the third. I may go back once two are in school. All my kids are doing fine, no matter if they were home or in daycare. I will say our home functions better with me at home and I was exhausted and cranky all the time trying to juggle everything while working 50 hrs/week and commuting. Now I'm contributing, but not fully funding, retirement and we are contributing to future college expenses. It's a trade off we were willing to make...other moms trade time with their kids for more financial freedom in the later years. There's no right or wrong answer and I don't think there is any ideal way to do it. Having little ones is hard...no matter what you do. There's no point in putting down someone else's life choice.
