Has anyone had experience with an "alternative" home situation -
what I am suggesting is that
Daddy stay at home with the baby (13 months) while I continue
to work. We are exploring this avenue for a number of reasons.
1. We are unable to find an affordable (less than $125/week)
day care within reasonable distance from home/work that we
feel provides adequate care for Nathan. (I never have a
warm/fuzzy feeling about the place).
2. The choice is to have daddy at home because of the disparity
in our salaries - we can't do it on just daddy's, but may
be able to do it on mine.
3. David (daddy) is very well-suited for the job.
Our concerns involve the following issues:
What if mom resents abandoning her :-) "God given" role at home?
Will dad feel isolated without "buddies" in similar roles?
Will other people give us flack? (I know my parents will but
I am big girl now.)
