What to do

Kara • Married 🇨🇦 SAHM Girl 09/09/16 -x- Boy 08/29/19 Waiting to TTC #3

I am currently on maternity Leave with my first baby and I'm trying to decide if I should go back to work.

I want to have two more children before I'm 32 (27 now) and I am planning to keep them all home until the 1st grade and teach them the foundations of early education myself.

My husband makes enough that I don't need to go back to work if we budget a little and we also have two places to vacation, for almost free, every year. Our children would still be spoiled with one income.

But ... I don't have the education to make the kind of money I'm making now when I go back to work (after the kids are in school) and I will not be able to return to my current job.

I don't know if I should stay home or work evening shift, 5 days a week. As I am part-time, I don't have set days off or even set hours each day.

I didn't think I'd love being a mom so much and I LOVED having my mom home with me when I was little. Is a little money really worth missing out on parts of their lives that will never be relived!?

My mom says I shouldn't quit and usually her advice is sound, but will I regret it later?! I don't want any regrets.

Just needed to put this all out there
