Women were physically and mentally CREATED to give tender loving care to their babies at home. If an infant has to be put in child care because there is no one else to watch him/her then I can see where the choice to make a living to support the child would be the exception. On the other hand, if there is a situation where there is a father/husband who works and it's is a matter of the "means" the couple is living within, then the couple should decide to lower their financial status in order to have the mother be able to stay at home with the child. We changed the way we spent in order for us to do this. I would advise the same thing to other mothers. They grow up so fast and they NEED every bit of early developement to be with the mother, NOT a stranger. I found a way to work at home and help support our family. If you would like info on that route, email me and I would be glad to give you info on how you could do the same. Name: Email: Subject
