Working moms that don't plan to go back to work after baby

*Dawn*
How did you come to your decision? Did any of you have to convince your SO of the benefits? I am currently working full time and will do so until I go into labor. I really don't want to go back to work. Right now I get 6 weeks of short term disability that kicks in after I use 1 week of PTO. So about 7 weeks after baby, I will be going back to work. It makes me sad to think about. Daycare is outrageously high in my area too, so it's like I'm paying an arm and a leg for something I don't even want. I feel like it is a waste of money. I tried to have a serious talk with my husband but he basically shut down any talk of me staying home. He really is a good husband/father but he just doesn't get it. He said things like "well I don't want to work either." I told him about 90% of my weekly income will go to daycare and he responds "You're money won't be going to daycare, just pretend like your income is covering the mortgage and I'm paying for daycare." He really doesn't want me to quit because the company I work for I a really competive IT company that pays well. I didn't even want the job, but when I got the interview and offer I felt so bad turning it down because he kept telling me how "proud" he was of me. 😔 Then I suggested that I could find work part time that would make up at least the difference I would get if I worked and had to pay for daycare - his response "it's not that simple, if you quit you don't know what raises you will miss out on." 😕  By that point I just gave up and told him fine, the baby can go to daycare 9 hours a day, eff it I don't care. But I do care, I just don't know what to do anymore. I think about it every day. I try to come up with ideas to make money from home. I have my degree but can't find any telework jobs. My current company may temporarily allow me to work from home a few days a week, but said only if I "need" to....so that basically means if I ask too much they will have a problem with it. Sorry this is such a long post. I guess I just needed to vent. I'm currently in my office in tears over this whole situation.
