I think we were about $60 a week better off between me working 3 days and having the kids in care for that time. So I went down to one day a week, and it was about the same since my income had gone down, my FTB went up and I only paid $90 for that one day of child care (And then got $45 a week back with the rebate came in quarterly - which we would use to pay advance payments at the daycare)

With having 3 children - no way would it be advantageous for me to go back to work, so thats why I stay at home.

But with 2 children, working one day a week, it was slightly better.
