We have just had our first child and I am on maternity. I have a demanding job but only on minimum wage. Dp thinks I should return to work as this will set a good example for dc. I do not want to return to work. I think it's pointless me working just to pay someone else to look after dc (would have about 150-200 a month left) I want to wait until he is 3 get some free hrs and get a part time job. I tried to tell dp if dc is sick I still would have to pay for nursery but I will not get paid. I would rather be a sahm and not miss out on all the firsts aibu

We did discus it before I got pregnant I've always said I would be a sahm if we ever had kids he agreed, we are getting married. We also have life insurance. He has come home from work today and has agreed it makes more sense me staying at home for the first couple of years I am looking into childminding. And also looking at doing a childminding course as after checking with people childcare is a real problem. Win win.
