how many FTWM resigned after maternity to stay at home with LO? Is it worth to give up your career, when baby can be placed in an IFC, which might even be more beneficial for baby. Does this stretch the family finances a lot?

been a sahm for a year. had been a ftwm since I had #1, after ml for #2, decided to be sahm. of coz, there were lotsa hiccups in the start, slowly will get the hang of it. like wat many say. money can still be earned, but childhood is only once. I never regret my decision. I know the feeling of willingly waking up to cook at 7am instead of dragging feet to work? yay.. that's the feeling. also I'm not a high flyer, my kids will love me more than my boss ya. that's y. Maybe I will go back to workforce two more years... But now just "enjoy" the sahm days.
