M-squared, I am also a full-time working mommy out of necessity. I generally avoid these types of thread b/c I get offended with all the 'I don't want someone else raising my kids' and 'you could do it if you really wanted to' comments. That aside, I work out of necessity. It would be $650/month for family health ins at DH's job and considering he only brings home about $1500/month that is cost prohibitive. Sure, he could get a higher paying job (he certainly has the credentials/experience) but he doesn't want to and I can't make him. So in that respect I suppose it's a lifestyle choice (his, not mine). In my perfect world I would work maybe 2 days a week to keep me 'stimulated' but *I* don't have that choice.
