I wanted to stay home with my kids too and finally got my wish when my kids were 9 and 12. I had a beautiful baby boy and have spent 5 great years with him at home. All has not been easy tho. No matter what choice you make, there is guilt involved. I always feel that my dh works too hard and is often grumpy and I feel guilty for not doing more to make ends meet. If you have a great day care provider, you should feel somewhat at ease. I have been doing daycare for 5 years and love the children in my care, but they know who their true mom is at the end of the day. Good luck. You do what you feel is right.
