Staying at Home with
the Kids
Deciding whether to stay home with the children is
a complex question. It raises issues from both a practical
and a personal perspective:
- can you afford to live on one income instead of
two, with the additional expense of a baby?
- are you prepared to accept the lifestyle change
a reduced income will bring?
- how do you feel about having no personal income,
depending on your partner?
- will you be satisfied being a full time mum?
- if you choose to go back to work, is there a part
time option?
- do you have a good child care option?
- can you juggle the practicalities of working life
and motherhood?
- how much effort is your partner prepared to put
in to help adjust to the change?
