8. It's VERY expensive to stay home. Hubs stayed for 5 years w/ the babies,
Edited on Mon Jun-09-08 06:19 PM by elehhhhna
& a few years later & a few less-than-satisfactory daycare providers, i stayed home for 5.

That 10 years cost us, at minimum, 500K gross...plus lost vesting, 401k match...

We called it "The best childcare we can't afford."
