I worked initially when my 1st son was born because his daycare was on the campus of the college that I worked on. When we moved overseas I didn't work - the main reason was that my DH was deployed and I wanted my son to have as stable of a childhood as possible. Up until last year I stayed home. It would have cost me more in childcare costs, clothing, convenience foods, gas, insurance, etc. for me to work. I took a job at my church two years ago because they worked around my youngest child's preschool schedule.
I am now starting Real Estate and the brokerage that I am working for understands my need to be at home for my kids so I work mostly from home. My son comes to the office with me as I need to be there for meetings.
For the most part I stayed home because it was best for the kids and didn't make financial sense for me to work.
