I have finally made the decision to take 1 year no pay leave to take care of my now 1 year old baby by myself .. Previously I sent him to infant care but he kept falling sick and the current one is quite a bad case of bronchitis . Honestly , it will be very tight for my family situation if I don't work but I guess my baby's health is my upmost concern now . I have another two more children aged 5 and 8. Need to support my mil to clear her medical bills too. Any mommies out here also take a back seat in your work despite very tight home financial situation and manage to work things out? I'm quite concern whether we can make it with one salary with hubby being the sole breadwinner but I guess have to try to make it happen

I think u and husband have to go through the finances together and look at the places that u can make the cuts. As for ur mil bills, u can see if can drag longer payment, but if it is credit card bill - have to pay immediately in full caz the interest is too high. I think that just have to grit teeth and go thru the 1 year, it is after all only a year and then things will be better. I would recommend continue to try to look for a maid but u guys are not open to it anymore.
