Just wondering if anyone else has found themselves in this position and if you have any advice/suggestions for me!

DH has a job now, but he pretty much just covers the babysitter plus a bit extra, so I'm still supporting us. Thing is, I don't want to! I feel like I'm so tired and distracted by my mother duties that I'm not doing as good a job as I used to. I've never been overly fond of my job, but at least I could say I was good at it. And I don't feel like I'm as a good a mother as I'd like to be because of work.

My current contract is up at the end of March and I'm seriously considering leaving (assuming they don't let me go first cause of the financial crisis).
Financially we can just manage on DH's salary, but there'd be no savings. Of course the plan is for him to advance or apply for better jobs over time.
Another issue is that I wouldn't be able to just go back to this job later on, most likely, because they won't be hiring again in the near term given the recession and all (I'm in financial services.) It's also very unlikely that I'd be able to get the same sort of job here (I work from home for an overseas-based company at the moment).
But then I quite like the idea of waiting till DS is a bit older, getting him into daycare a few days a week and working part time in something completely different - assuming I can find something of course, but that's another problem entirely.

Any ideas? Should I quit being selfish and suck it up? Or should we throw ourselves into the loving arms of the social security net...?
