When we have a child I want to stay home. That is the way that I was raised there for I would like the same for my child. The problem is that I work with my dad, he owns his own business and I run the office, and there is no one else that knows how to do it. Would it be wrong if I just quit and stay home with my child? I don't know if that would make me a bad daughter?

No, of course not. Just be sure to help him find a good temp and train them up so he won't be left stranded. I'm sure he's looking forward to you having kids, too.

If you run the office for your dad could you maybe have a child and still run the business but from home? Any correspondence could happen by phone and email and all the paperowrk could be done on the computer. That way you aren't being a bad daughter or a bad mother. That is exactly what i did with my first child until she began school. Then I began working onsite with the family business again. I'm sure your father would 100% understand as he did raise you too and I bet he'd be over the moon that he will be getting a grandchild. Good luck!

I understand. My husband has his own business which I ran the office for him lock stock and barrel. Then after he turns 40 we find out we have a child on the way we were told I couldn't have 9 years ago! He spent the time I carried our son searching and interviewing the right person to take over the office in my place. ya know what? I am staying home with our son and he has a person in the office who does a better job than I ever did. She makes me look like a complete idiot. That makes me feel wonderful knowing he has someone he can trust in there. Talk to your dad and tell him what you want to do--maybe he will let you help in finding the person to fill your chair while you are gone.

Oh no, do not quit that job. Raising a child does not depend on quantity but quality. My mom also decided to stay at home to take care of use her kids. Now I'm sixteen, my parents just got recently divorced. My mom have a college degree but she did not use it. She ended up having the short end of the rope. I'm not saying that this would happen to you. I just want to say that as a working mom you will not raise a bad child. And if you decide to quit the job, that will not make you a bad daughter but a better mom. Just make sure to get yourself ready to go on a long journey of motherhood if you decide to stay home.
GOOD LUCK

That doesn't make you a bad daughter at all. It makes you a good mother! Your dad shouldn't put you in the position where you have to choose between him (a grown adult) and your baby (a helpless newborn). If you still want to help him, maybe you can cut your hours down to part-time and bring the baby into the office with you or perhaps you can do some things at home for the business, but once you get married, your first obligation is to your spouse and your children.

MAYBE THE WORK CAN BE DONE USING THE COMPUTER AT HOME. OR YOU COULD HAVE A CRIB AND ALL THE FIXINGS AT THE OFFICE IN A SEPARATE SOUND-PROOF ROOM THAT YOU CAN LOOK INTO AND SEE WHATS HAPPENING OR YOU COULD TRAIN SOMEONE ELSE TO DO YOUR JOB, AND STAY HOME WITHOUT PAY. REGARDLESS OF YOUR DECISION " DO NOT BECOME A BAD DAUGHTER BY LEAVING YOUR DAD WITHOUT A QUALIFIED, KNOWLEDGEABLE OFFICE WORKER.

this is a tough issue but surely he would know what it was like if your mum was a stay at home mum to so he should understand but i do think that u need to give him enough notice and perhaps you could advertise for someone and you be in charge of training them up on everything you know about running the business so your dad doesnt have to worry about it and then how could he refuse

it's a viable alternative. i'll pose more...
perhaps you could still work for him? i don't know what your responsibilities are, but maybe you could do them at home, or take your baby to work with you (possibly a convenient option, since your dad owns the business!), or even split your time between running it from home & being at the office for certain hours. as expensive as babies are, i'm sure you could use the extra cash!
good luck, with whatever you decide!

Once you get pregnant life changes. He will accept some new ideas and one would be you working less. I would get a temp in who could do the work and get along with dad.
