You clearly have already decided; why ask? Just to shoot down anyone who says #1?

Do you *want* to stay home? Then do. If you can afford it, if that $1K isn't that much to you, and you want to, then do.

2 kids under 2. Wouldn't really save me much.... assuming I could even get a spot!

An option, but to what avail? I'm bored of the job function and can't change (without starting over at a salary that doesn't even cover the nanny). A raise is unlikely, or at best modest. I've also looked, no one is biting.

I agree with the PP. Unless you have dismal career prospects elsewhere.

Option 1: Stay at my job, which I will freely admit I dislike (not interesting, hour commute each way, no opportunity for advancement), but which provides a paycheck and a 4 day a week schedule. However, once we pay the nanny we've calculated that the job only nets us an extra $1,024 a month or $64 bucks a day.

Option 2: Quit and stay at home for a year or two and then try to re-enter the workforce.

My bias is probably obvious but... WWYD?
