well first of all does he make enough money to provide for the family? your first priority is to the baby. spend time with the baby because you'll never get their firsts back. they do have online educations, it'd probably be good for you to do that, that way you can study at home and take care of the baby.
good luck

Well if you get a part time job your husband might not have to work 60 hours a week to support you and your baby, marriage is a partnership, both partners should be helping one another. Who are you helping with him having to work 60 hours a week while you're home with the baby? The baby will get a few hours of interaction and socialization with children their own age, plus when school rolls around there won't be any fits due to separation anxiety. Even babies get bored with just having one person entertaining them. You don't have to work full time, plus you could take on line classes while you were at home. This way your husband could be home more spending quality time with you and the baby rather than at work.

Can you financially afford to go to school and pay for day care without working? If you can and if your husband is comfortable working 60 hours a week while you go to school, then you should defiantly take the opportunity and go to school and get some kind of an education so that you can have a career. You have to take into consideration that anything can happen, and you have to make sure that you can take care of not only yourself but your child if something were to happen to your husband.
Even consider going to school part time and getting a part time job.
Good luck with whatever you choose to do.

No honey....perhaps take some courses online so you can be home with your baby....your baby is much more important at this point. What makes you think strangers at day care could ever replace the important job that mommy or daddy does? Hubby is working 60 hours a week to provide for you all....if he's going to cut back his hours so you can go out and work, while he watches the baby, then maybe.

it depends if you think you can get financial help and child care help then i will suggest you to go back to school get ready prepare and maybe get a short career & then look fo a good job.. If you can't rigth now then look for a job apply for child care services( fiancial help depending on your earnings) save some money if you can so maybe in a year or so you can go to school.. I will suggest you to save & don't put school in a bag & forget about it .. it is never to late to go back to school I am going back this coming January i will quit my job the first week of December but I allready have save money for back up just in case we need for an emergency.. My hubby will be working full time & i have 3 kids .. So everything is possible .. Best wishes :)

What brings you more satisfaction? Do you NEED to work, or have you always wanted to go back to school? I was donwnsized 2 years ago, I took advantage of the 6-month servrance & unemployement & finished my degree. My degree is in healthcare admin & I work from the comfort of home. I would go back to school, If I could afford to. Plus your baby is more important. If I had to do it all over I would have been a stay-at-home mom when my daughter was younger.

Do what makes you happy. Either would be of benefit. School would advance your personal growth and a job would have some social benefits (Even if only at work). Having been a housewife i know the isolation you feel. Once i went back to work i felt so FREE!!! Only answer is, Do what makes you happy! feel free to visit my help site if you like. www.dr-katrina.us

Do you have a dream? Then what would it take for you to accomplish this dream;schooling or work or what? Once you figure out what its going to take then go after it and let no one deter you from accomplishing it. True,with family it might take a little longer to get but still go after it and at one step at a time. Good luck

depends if you want to leave your kids with somebody you dont know and if your husband wants you to go out and work instead of being home with your baby. if you want to go to school go ahead but if the money is not an issue i would just leave it the way it is. it is truthfully better for the baby!

You should talk to your husband.
If you guys are piling up money, then there's no need for you to get a job. You might want to investigate ways of investing your money wisely, and watch the stock market.
Have you considered having another child?
