We have a small flourishing business that's our ticket to working at home plus we have blogs to maintain. I am not against the idea because for me it's important that there's someone who's very much related to the family who'll stay with the kids. In our case, my mother is there to watch over our son and his nanny.

There are so many milestones, cute phrases and achievements of theirs that I would miss being a part of. <br /><br />However, the reason we chose for me to be the one staying home is because my husband earned more than me. It just made better financial sense. He often says he'd love to be the one who got to stay home with the kids though, and he means it.<br /><br />Of course, now that the governemnt here will be cutting our take-home from hubby's monthly check by £600 to £1,000 a month (as of this coming March), I may have to start thinking about getting a job outside the home. My work-from-home earnings are not enough to make up the shortfall we will be experiencing. <br /><br />Both of us believe it is important for one of us to be home with the kids, but we will have to do whatever it takes to make ends meet.Becky Fyfehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01595020500346331076noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4298858275963177481.post-39328711594325909432010-08-25T22:48:27.912-04:002010-08-25T22:48:27.912-04:00loved the post Following you back from

We live next to a grade school and he said he's not surprised at all because he sees the volume of dads doing the kindergarten pick ups and after school pick ups. Very interesting- though sad that the $ is still off!!! grrrrrJersey Diva Momhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11376279675099437740noreply@blogger.com
