If working helps with the bills and proved needs for your family, then do it. I'm sure you may have like cousins who are like 15 or 16 and needs a job, have them babysit BUT if the newborn is only like 3 months old, i wait a few more months but it is normal for women to go back to work when 3 months are up. I think your husband is paranoid of letting someone take care of a newborn and i dont blame him. That is every parent fear of something happening to a newborn.

I don't think there is ever a cut and dried answer to your question. First, I would say that it is definitely better for the children if their mom can be home with them at least until they get into school full time (most times that would be six years old for first grade, right?). And if you can afford to stay home and want to, then by all means, do it! However, if you are unhappy being home all day, then this could certainly have an impact on what would normally be your terrific mothering skills. If that is the case, then go back to work and spend quality time with them during your evenings and weekends. A little soul searching is probably what's needed - and whatever answer you come up with, that's the right one for you!

id wait untill the new baby is in a routine. if u need the money or the inderpendence then go to work but if u dont want to then thats understandable. i wouldnt recommend full time only do part time two three days a week, plus child care only works out that u only have a tiny bit of wages left after putting the two of them in care. i can understand why u would want to return though as children can drive u a bit mad and u go a bit loopy with the baby talk. would ur husband be happy with the kids by himself al day. it does strip u off ur inderpendence.

I had the same dilemma i have a 2 year old and a 8 month old and i wanted to start working. We didn't need the extra money i just wanted to and my was against it. Think about it thoroughly do you really want someone else raising your children and you missing out on all the silly things they do? To all there own but if the extra money isn't needed then i suggest you stay with them. But it's really up to you

How are you doing financially w/ two preschool age children? Are you OK or do you feel that you need to get out and speak w/ someone other than your husband to have an "adult" conversation. These are questions that you should be asking yourself. Then, make your decision.

I wouldn't but if you really really want to and you don't mind your hubby being upset, then do it.
Maybe you can get into something you love from home like a business of some sort! Sounds like hubby might be supportive of that. This could be your break and you don't even know it.

If your family is financially able to alllow you to stay home and you want to stay home, then I would definitely choose that option. Your children are only young once!

For sure, stay at home. Work when they start school if you wish.
