Work or stay at home

Eh, do you mean your husband will pay you $x to stay home? I think it depends on what industry you are in, how easy it is to return to it, and how much your quality of life is affected moving to single income. For me I won't mind staying at home until the kids start schooling; I can nurture the kids and also provide healthy food for my family. I may also take the time to do side projects or a small home business that fits with my housewife schedule.
