Who's quitting their job to be a stay at home mom?

Question

I'm a FTM and still debating on whether to keep my full time job and pay for day care, or take a few years off to be a stay at home with my new baby. I'm curious to see what other moms are doing!! Thanks :)

Answer

Originally I was going to quit. And had a sit down with my boss and explained daycare just doesn't make sense with what I'm currently making. On top of that i have one person in my dept who constantly creates a hostile work environment and the stress she causes will cause me to quit early just because my blood pressure is always high and it's 75% her actions or words.

Then my boss offered to promote me. More pay and I won't have to ever work with that one person ever again. I should've threaten to quit a long time ago.

Answer

I'm staying home with my baby. I don't want to miss anything 😊

Answer

I quit my last job just before I got married. I was stressed out and knew I would have trouble getting time off for my wedding. I was planning to go back to work after, but got pregnant the weekend I got married. Lol. I haven't gone back and I love staying home with my family. Expecting my second baby in 6 weeks.

Answer

My last day was last week. I'm due in 10 weeks. I can't wait to be a stay at home mom and to have the next 2 months to prepare and relax

Answer

I wish I could, but I make more money than my husband and we can't afford the paycut if I quit, but I'll be off work as long as possible

Answer

I quit with my first. I've been a stay at home mom for 2 years. I didn't make enough to make daycare worth while. I'd basically be working to cover daycare expenses

Answer

I wish I could, but there is no way we could afford it. My company talked about the potential for some departments to work from home, which I put it out there immediately that if the opportunity came to our department, I would be willing to do that (everyone knew I was pregnant by that point.) But that could be a long way off and not even guaranteed for the area I work in. So, until we can afford it, I'm going to be working and saving.

Answer

I want to stay at home. But I may do some work like transcript writing or maybe continue nannying if the nanny family is okay with bringing my baby (I've heard many are ok with that because it's good socialization) but I want to be at home because I know I'm called to be a mother

Answer

I am! I'm so excited! I've always hated working and I've always wanted to be a stay at home mom:) I'm glad my hubbys on board too. If it were up to me I'd quit now (I'm 13 weeks) haha but you know gotta pay the bills.

Answer

My hubs is going part time and staying home so that way we don't have to pay for day care it's $1200 a month which is a second mortgage for us!!!
