I have finally made the decision to take 1 year no pay leave to take care of my now 1 year old baby by myself .. Previously I sent him to infant care but he kept falling sick and the current one is quite a bad case of bronchitis . Honestly , it will be very tight for my family situation if I don't work but I guess my baby's health is my upmost concern now . I have another two more children aged 5 and 8. Need to support my mil to clear her medical bills too. Any mommies out here also take a back seat in your work despite very tight home financial situation and manage to work things out? I'm quite concern whether we can make it with one salary with hubby being the sole breadwinner but I guess have to try to make it happen

It will be tight but somehow we humans will be able to adapt to circumstances and work with what we have. Previously I was working too. I stopped working when I moved to Sg with my hb (was pregnant then). We used to go fancy dining and holidays often before I stopped working. Now, we cook at home most of the time. Holidays maybe once a year somewhere nearby. Instead of buying things full price, now I wait for sale to stock up and many things are bought online like Amazon, taobao, qoo10, carousel etc To me baby's health is definitely more important than a few years of lifestyle change. all the best to you.
