I feel like quitting my job and take care of my baby. But if I were to quit, my husband will be the sole breadwinner. Most of the time i miss baby so much that I will cry. Any mummy in the same situation?

It sounds like u dislike your job. Upper middle class parents, usually women, like to pretend that they are doing something noble by staying home after children arrive, but in reality their jobs are unfulfilling and they are grateful to have a socially acceptable excuse to quit.

Actually, I don't fully disagree with this, it can be the hard truth fo some because I thought about it myself, if I am finding an excuse to quit my job, (which I do enjoy but also struggles at times..) However, the exchange of 'working' at home can indeed be much more fulfilling, it will be a real good excuse to "change job" to a FTM, though it's not an easy task too. It's like choosing jobs, if you wanna find a job with "low"(no) but happy, or you wanna find a job with high pay but you're not very happy? That being said, we need to be financially capable, or willing to have a shift in lifestyle.. It's often about balancing or sacrificing some things for another..
