I think the support of your husband is very important. I am very lucky that my husband supports my decision. I gave up a very stable and high pay job to exchange for more time with my boy. I do not regret as he is now more healthy, learning faster and more important... more happier. Maybe I will go back to work when he is much older and more independent. My family is no.1 in my life than my career.
Hi, I am also considering to become a full time mama. It is such a difficult decision!! I've a very nice boss, reasonably good salary + medical benefits. I just can't decide, and yet have to decide soon as my baby is just over 1 yr and grows real fast everyday.
I started to think about it because I've to hire a bun bun but I don't like my boy being looked after by her for the whole day. Just don't know how he would be treated. And I can't ask my mum to sit in. It is not fair for her. Also, I noticed that as he grows each day, he acquires knowledge very fast everyday. And now when I come home after work, we don't do anything meaningful because I am too tired. Sometimes, we just watch TV. There are many things that I want to do with him: swimming, go to the park, beach, read a book, attend playgroups etc. All the time has spent with baby on meaningless activities, my home also got neglected - piles of unopened letters, overdue bills. All these make me start thinking quitting and spend more time on my family and baby. He may not grow up the way that I wish him to become, but at least I tried.
To me there are few considerations besides financial support to yr family.
- see if yr personality is fit for being a full time mom, frankly speaking, it's very boring if you don't like to do housework and if you have domestic helper. If not, you time can be much occupied.
- to do something together with yr kids like what you said does not require that much time as she thought, the truth is at year one, he cannot absorb as much as you think. even you want to teach more, his concentration is only like 5 minutes to 10 minutes maximum and it won't take you too much time.
-he is very energetic at this stage and all he does is only to develop the physical power which it does not require much help from you.
-the best is a part time mom. cheers
