The tears have been flowing today as the reality is sinking in that I may have to go back to work Both dh and I would prefer me to stay at home but after another look at the budget today we are still 'in front' but that is very quickly changing and soon we will be going backwards FAST so we need more money.

I had thought about returning to my old job but my boss drove me nuts most days and even if I do go back I don't think I can make 'enough' money only working on teh days that dh can care for bub at home.

What I need is a work from home job that really does make money, not some scam or something that requires so much work that you end up working for $5/hr

I have thought about maybe starting a family day care but I have never been in the child care industry or even baby sat for anyone. I do love kids though... maybe I could go and check out a real day care for a day and see if I could hack it.

Has anyone else done family day care and can tell me some of the pros and cons I may not have thought of. Or has anyone got any other great ideas?
