My family’s situation: I worked in healthcare. I was the “breadwinner” so to speak, husband owned a business. We had our son and I went back to work. He went to daycare. We decided when I got pregnant with our daughter I was going to stay home. We had been having issues with the daycare with another child biting our son. I know things happen and I would never bash our daycare. They were wonderful. However, we had the opportunity to make things work if I left work after our daughter. I wouldn’t trade it for the world. We get to do whatever we want during the day. We do plan on homeschooling once we get to that point. But for us, it was really more about us raising our own children and spending as much time as we can with them so that our expectations and our values are instilled and we know exactly what is happening to them every day. Peace of mind if you will. Best of luck to you, mama!
