When my DD#1 was 12 months i returned to work 2 days per week. I lasted 7 months - then quit to stay at home with her. I couldnt see the point in having a child and then going off to work when i didnt really need to. I had a really good job and was sad to leave. But the guilt i felt when leaving her with my mother or DH (hes a firefighter, therefore works shift wk) was overwhelming.
Ive just had #2 and wouldnt dream of returning to work.
I figure its 5 yrs out of my life, and if one can afford to stay at home, why not.
