Im a temporary sahm now. Planning to get back to work next year. I didn't resign my current job. Management was very kind to allow me to take a long unpaid leave till next year. When I was working, I place my girl in infantcare. Unfortunately my girl fall sick frequently. Almost every week and it has been on going for 6 months. Decided to withdraw her from the IFC when she was hospitalized due to bronchitis. Infant care is a personal choice. Finance wise, need to differentiate between need and wants.
i stop wrkg when i came to know i m preggy. before that we already planned to hv a bb so we plan our finances properly. which includes having 1 person wrkg till bb turns 3yrs old. actually having 1 bb doesnt really stretch e family finances alot. so far i still gets to travel on n off sometimes only wif my bb. weekday i send my bb to some classes or go out wif friends. wif proper planning u be able to live on 1 person income
i plan to quit once i found out I'm pregnant with twins. personally i want to grow together with them, if i miss the chance, it will be lost forever. i don't think IFC is more beneficial for my babies because I'm sure that my babies are better with me. plus I'm not high flyer so can't really say I'm giving up my career. i believe i can easily find another job when I'm ready to leave them
If you are used to it being a FTWM, changing to a SAHM is a challenge. This is not only on the financial side but the overall feel. As this is a major decision, I would suggest you to talk to your other half before making this decision. If decision is not made or discussed carefully, you may end up having more problems be it between husband and wife or monetary.
Me. I resigned and look after my son as no alternative caregiver to take care and I don't trust infant care or helper. I believed it is totally worth it as the bonding, time and love given to your child is irreplaceable. Money is abit tight but still able to make end meets. Money can be earn later. But a child will grow quickly. :)
From ftwm, I'm a full time sahm and I've never been happier. We have 2 kids now and leaving on hubby's income. Finances have not been tight if you can budget wisely. As for me, no splurging on manis and pedis or bags, which I can live with. As for putting kids in infant care, it's a matter of personal choice, whether you're a ftwm or sahm.
I never stop my work, this is depend on personal finance and how you manage. My mother in law help me to take care my boy so that I able to go work. Me and my husband mange ourself by he will settle house loan, bill and children school fee. And I will settle house groceries. So that he won't be so suffer on everything.
I've been a sahm since day 1. my eldest is in pri. 1 now. my hubby doesn't make much. he brings home the average 2k - 3k ... we still get by. we go on holidays we eat out .. it's all about how you budget and finance. on the up side I spend time with my kids alot and I'm never c ever trading this for the works! !
I personally feel that the time with my baby is too precious. And also i feel that bonding is very important and will help in his future wellbeing and thoughts. Thus i was most willing to give up my business and stay home to take care of my son from day 1.
