It all depends upon your circumstances as one of the Qlers has rightly said. I do not have any right now but I am expecting soon Insha Allah. I have already made up my mind that I'll put my child to some day care it would be better for me. Because I feel all our lives we work & all of a sudden we stop our work & look after our children & in the end that child will never stay with us for 24 hours. Here for a nursery or reception, the child has to be sent by 3 years of age for better social skills. Then after that what, it would be ladies & their boredom coz cooking a meal doesnt take more than 30 minutes or maximum 1 hour & same goes with cleaning of home depending upon the size for me household work is only 2 hours job, rest of the time is difficult to pass by only watching tv or going to hypermarkets. So, for me I have already decided I'll keep my job just not to let my skill get stagnant & out of date :)

Pls this issue is not that difficult. I am sure you are feeling guilty that's why the thought of leaving him behind kills you but as others say its all your choice. If you want you can look after him by being 24 hours home minister :) otherwise you can convince yourself that I' ll be working for the better future of my son & for more savings. Good luck & let us know what have you decided :)
