The situation is: My husband and I both work full time, and we're fortunate enough to have my mom watch our two boys (aged 28 months and 12 months) during the day. We recently moved, and I started a new job where I make considerably more money than I did. This allows us to be able to afford to do fun things with our kids on the weekends that we previously weren't financially able to do on a regular basis. We've never gone without, but my husband and I have lived paycheck to paycheck even before we had kids. I love my job now, but the problem I'm having is that I'm the breadwinner, and it's impossible for me to be a stay at home mom. Financially, my husband and I both have to work to be able to run our family/household. We don't want to become financially strapped. As it is now, I see our kids only on the weekends, really. I see them 10 minutes in the morning, and by the time I get home at night, fix dinner, do the dishes, etc. it's time for the kids' to go to bed. More...
