Ok, so your blog really touched my ...Hi there sis!<br /><br />Ok, so your blog really touched my heart tonight. I often struggle with the decision of not working (as much) and staying at home with my precious baby. I often think of the "better" financial situation we would be in if I would just get a stable job with stable hours. The immediate pay-off for this, most definitely, would be a stable paycheck every-other week, increased income into the house, and a slightly better financial situation for our family. However, the immediate cost would be losing precious time with my daughter. <br /><br />The long-term payoff for staying at home is quite obvious - I am sure I will NEVER regret staying at home with her. I know she will benefit 150% from my being with her at this very young age. And keeping her out of daycare is so very important to us as a family (not to mention the importance to our pocketbooks!). The costs for staying at home with her is - well - I can't even think of a possible cost. Maybe the cost would be I can't spend as much money... but I can't think of a single thing I need anymore?!!!<br /><br />Reading blogs like this truly does help me put into perspective my decision to stay home with Hannah. We might sacrifice a lot, and have to really watch our spending, stick to a budget and make some life-altering changes (i.e. selling our house, selling the truck that Josh loved oh-so-much), etc., but it's sooooo worth it! <br /><br />Thanks for your post!Kasi Sextonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01044033159026533869noreply@blogger.com
