Wondering whether you should stay at home or return to work? If you can afford to stay home for awhile, that would be the best for your children and you. You children would never be that young again, soon they would be grown and gone. What is there for life, if you can't enjoy them now?

There are financial concerns families might have, just look real hard at your spending, and cut down all the necessaries. It's worth the while for a family to not spend money on nice clothes or electronics, to allow the mother to spend time with the children. Even if you have to leverage on other resources, home equity, spending, or credit card, etc. for the moment, it's worth it. Unless you don't care about you children, although that is rare in mothers, your time is now to be with them.

After sometime, you might feel the pressure to earn money, there are options to work part time, work from home, or even going back to work is not so bad, after you had some time off with your young children. The most important time for a human, is the first five years. The more time you can spend with you child, the happier you two would turn out to be.

With the internet and businesses out there, you can try to work from home, starting a business from home that would give you the best of the both world: earning an income and being with your children. Work from home takes discipline, hard work, resources, money and time. Do not give up in less than a year of trial, you need to weather through a least a couple cycles of up and downs. Try to solicit supports from your family; there are also communities (many online) that you can find supports. The main thing is you have to believe in yourself, even no one would sometimes.

Working part time, or going back to work after staying home for awhile, is not so bad, if you can find a quality day-care. Go observe the day care, see if the babies and children are healthy and happy. If they are, then there is no need to worry about dropping off your treasures there. Or worst case, things doesn't work out, then quit your job, and stay home again. Remember, life is full of turns; things will always turn out to be okay. Use your supports, real life or virtual.
