14-5-2009 - Not sure what to do

My mood while writing this blog: Confused

---

I have really been wanting to stay home with my three old lately. He has been crying every morning asking me to not go to work and it is breaking my heart. I am thinking about staying home with him and watching my best friends twins and maybe my cousins newborn. I wouldnt make as much as I do at my job now but close to it and I would get to stay home with Brayden. People at work told me they think I would regret leaving because it is a really good job and hard to get into. I love my job but I love my son more. Any opinions on what I should do?!?!? I feel like the babysitter is raising my son and I hate that. But then people told me at work I was being stupid for leaving and I would regret it. I just dont know what to do.

I am in the same boat as you. As soon as I have this baby I don't think I will be going back to work. And there are a huge list of reasons why I don't want to go back but most importantly I want to be home with my son and then my new little girl. I make twice as much as my BF but I also paid so much in daycare and transport to work that I think it would work out so much better and I'd be home. I would say go for it. The money you'd save from going back and forth to work in gas and what not might work out the difference in not making as much from your job and getting the new income from watching the other kids.

Wow I really feel your struggle as I have had the same thoughts lately! I have personally decided to embrace my job and enjoy all the moments I have with Buck when I'm not working since I have a good, well paying, stable job, and can give him a lot that I otherwise couldn't. It's so hard and I'm sure it will be harder when the new baby comes so tomorrow I may have completely different thoughts. Even with the decision being made it's always on my mind! Like mmyof3angels said you have to do what is best for your family. My sister is a SAHM and it works out great for her. I'm jealous of her sometimes and sometimes she's jealous of me! DIFFICULT!!!!!

Let me guess Love, is my hubby one that said that?? I think that if you want to stay at home with Brayden then do it! There will always be other jobs out there that are just as good or better then the one you have now! You have to do what is best for you lovely and make sure that you guys as a family can afford it! :) xoxo
