So this has been a topic for my husband and I since we have been ttc. I'm currently working as a technician at a local hospital ER. I enjoy the work, and enjoy my coworkers. Obviously it doesnt pay as much as I would like too. My husband and I live comfortably, but always room for improvement. So I've been on the fence on going back to school for my accounting degree. Only issue is I'm currently working 4 days a week, every other weekend, every 3rd holiday, and if I would get my degree it would be 5 days a week M-F. As stated above we currently do not have any children, but actively ttc.

** give you guys some history, on what's making this decision so difficult. My cousin recently had a baby, back in Oct 2018. She had her boyfriend, quit his current job and get a better paying job (that he doesnt truly enjoy) so that way she could be a stay at home mom because she believes stay at home moms are better then working moms.

With that being said, I have convinced myself that working M-F is too much, and that I should be home with my children and raising them. But I also sit back and think about how shes being kind of selfish making him get a different job and working 16-18 hour days. Basically he is missing out on the babies life, so she can stay home with her 24/7.

** I'm not bashing stay at home moms at all ! I respect all of you. I just think my cousins situation is a little extreme.

Anyways the reason for this post, is so I can hear from you guys about how you feel. Obviously if you can make it being a stay at home mom, that's great! I guess I'm just wanting to hear that being a working momma is going to be okay and that my kids will know that just because I'm not home with them 24/7 that I still love them just as much.
