Going to quit my job?!?!?

edited April 2012 in Parenting
Well I think I'm finally going to do it...I have a fairly good job that I have been at for six years now, but it just doesn't make sense anymore....I have two babies, a 2 year old and a 7 month old. It cost me 360 a week for childcare...so after that and my health insurance and everything else comes out of my check, I'm practically paying to go to work, and have been for a while now...stupid I know, but as dumb as this sounds...im terrified of getting insurance on my own...I have great coverage through work, and although my husband has a great job, he can't get insurance...I just want my kids to be protected, and atleast I'm sure they are while I'm working....I have never not had a job but have always dreamed of being able to stay home with my babies...now that its on the horizon I am obviously estatic, but in a weird way really nervous...I want to be the best mom I can and just hope I can measure up to the stay at home mom status (if this makes sense at all?? Lol) any helpful advice, or things people think I should know would be greatly appreciated!!

  • I left my job of six years too when I had my lo. When she was 3 months old I got so bored and decided to go back to school, but online. Lol.:) I miss work still. It's a big transition!
  • I always knew this is what I wanted but never knew if we'd be able to do it...now that its here im nervous lol...silly things bother me...my co workers have become family...they were with me through a wedding and two births lol...the thought of walking in and telling my boss I'm going to quit makes me stomach turn just thinking about it...this is so weird lol
  • I only wish I had that option
