Default Re: Anyone else Anti- Day Care? Due to costs

I plan on to be a SAHM when the time comes. If I stayed at my job, I would be working to just keep my Job itself when I want to be home to raise my child. I do not want someone else to raise them for me. With what is going on in today's world and day care and schools, I hope my at home time with them would help their foundation in thinking what is right and what is wrong rather trusting that in another unknown person.

At the same time, I worry about my future with having job year’s gap in experiences, not contributing to 401K or savings. But you don't take any of those when you leave the world. I like work... but I don't live to work only. It just a part of my life and not my sole reason. It really all depends on how trustworthy and dependable your spouse is to be able to be the provider in other things and work out as a team. Also a spouse that understand its hard work and allow breaks and time with friends when needed.
