I feel torn. More than anything in the world, I want to stay home with my baby. It also makes me incredibly anxious to think about putting her in daycare. As an infant, if someone were hurting her, it's not like she could tell me.

If I work, we will have extra money each month for savings. If I stay home, our budget will be extremely tight. We have some savings right not, but it wouldn't exactly grow much unless my SO got more pay or I found a way to make money from home. If I go back to work, I can't get the time of her life spent at daycare back. But if I stay home we will have a lower quality of life. I'm also worried about health insurance. Shes on Medicaid, and when we get married my SO and I will try to apply for Obamacare. The extra money I made wouldn't cover full price insurance and work insurance isn't offered.

My SO is applying places, but so far nothing. He has a degree so it makes it harder, either he's overqualified or under. I'm not sure what to do. He says I should stay home, but I feel guilty either way.
