[QUOTE="Andy, post: 200660, member: 5096"] I love my job. I do need it for an out. I did stay home with easy child for almost 3 years. The downside is trying to find daycare. Most will insist on a full time minimum. One lady also said, "You should just stay home and do daycare like I did." "What? Excuse me but you have no idea who I am." I need to get out of the house, not be tied down more. My husband is on the road a lot - more so when we first were married and easy child was young. That means I did not have many evenings to get out on my own. I was fortunate to find the most wonderful day care provider who not only charged only when the kids were there but is a excellent resource in child development. She helped us through a tough time with easy child. She was the one to point out to me that difficult child's speech was behind. I didn't know because I wasn't around other kids and easy child's speech was so far advanced that I didn't know what normal was. I have also promised myself that becoming a wife and mother would not completly keep me from doing what makes me happy. I would still be involved in volunteer work and find hobbies for alone time. I sometimes feel selfish but do believe that I am a person entitled to my own happiness. [/QUOTE]
