Answer

we have a 5 & almost 2 year old (boys) 30w3d preg with first girl. I have to say no cons. I get to spend every second with my kids i know them inside and out . I get my breaks when needed as they spend little time with grandma while i go to appointments . My husband works his butt off and i have money just like he does we are a team. Hate when women complain about cleaning and cooking lol Thats all a breeze to do.

Answer

Curious what cons their can be 🤔 so following

Answer

Cons - less money coming in, harms career, less disposable income to spend on said child/ren.                                               Pros - more time to spend with child, don't have to work so let someone else earn the money if you can, more time to spend with friends and on the house, breastfeed instead of pumping more.         Personally I will be taking my maternity leave and returning to work full time I will still be breastfeeding and I think its possible my partner will be a stay at home Dad

Answer

Pros: not worrying about the cost of daycare, not having to worry about your child getting abused at said daycare (by other kids or staff), being able to advance your child by having 1 on 1 interaction which they definitely don’t get at daycare, being there for all the firsts, knowing your child isn’t picking up bad habits from peers with bad parents. 
Cons: not having your own time, feeling isolated, having to do more housework than your husband (but that’s fair because he works). In my opinion, things that can easily be looked past when it comes to knowing your child’s well being is put first ☺️ 
My autistic, nonverbal niece had her leg broken on her second day of daycare. By a teacher who became frustrated while changing her diaper. All of the family researched for months before picking a center; we thought this was the best one in the entire county! So I’ll never, ever be able to justify needing my own time as a reason for putting my child in an establishment. Daddy can watch the baby if I need alone time, a hot bath, an hour at the gym, whatever it may be. That’s just my opinion of course and I likely wouldn’t be as wary if I only saw stories like this in the news (although they are reported almost daily).

Answer

my con is def the lonliness. its only me and baby all day. my boyfriend works out of town so its usually just us for the week. i also dont live near friends or family. if i lived in my hometown i think the con would be much much less

Answer

Cons- Stuck at home with a baby all day, having no money of your own, having your job be to cook and clean, no social life. Pros- Not missing any of the firsts. That’s it. I would never be a stay at hone Mom. I love that I have something outside of my wifely/motherly duties. It’s hard to see yourself as a person if you are always having to be a Mom. I like that I am valued as a person.

Answer

Pros-saving $ on daycare
Cons-loneliness
