Sometimes it makes more sense to not work if you can swing it.

Some people write down all of the costs and expenses for transportation and daycare costs... and compare them to salary..

For us, we had already decided that we wanted one parent to stay home with the kids... you have to decide what to do for your family but it might be something to look into.

It's hard as heck to stay home sometimes but it worked for us and the kids seemed to have grown up pretty well adjusted.. I just don't think anyone could ever love or care about my kids the way I do.
