I certainly frown on SAHM's......cause I'm gonna have to go back to work at some point and I'm jealous I do have it pretty good and will get about 18 months at home with my bubba, and then DF will be working 4 days on 4 days off so most of the time one of us will be home. For the other couple of days, FIL is just around the corner and can not wait to babysit (seriously, he's already offering to watch the baby straight away so we can go out for dinner and have 'us' time which is sweet), but I'm really hoping (as is DF) that he can score a work from home position and/or he gets a decent promotion so we can afford for me to just stay home. Assuming things go to plan, worst case is I'm only back at work for 12 months-ish and then we'll be having #2 so I'll be back home again.
