Health reasons. My kids are susceptible to infections, so being around other kids is a huge health risk- both in terms of staying healthy, the cost of the treatments, and their long term health in life.
For that reason wife and I are each changing work schedules for the twins.
I am switching from 8-5 to 2-10 or 3-11.
Wife is moving most client appointments to mornings (7-2) then working from home from 2-7.
Twins will not be exposed to other kids until Jan of 09 at earliest, probably June of 09 more likely. SIL is the daycare provider, $50/day ($25 each kid per day), so the cost is good, just need to vigilant about the health of my sons.
Then it will be daycare because our budget is based on two incomes and financial goals (early retirement) is also based on two incomes now.
1/2 of my one paycheck is what we save each month, most of the other half is what pays the mortgage. If we get rid of the mortgage and have enough in savings, I won't need to work anyway.
