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

I might be in a different situation as I have only one child but decided to quit so that my child could be looked after with guidance since both me and my husband work irregular hours and its not healthy in the long run. We have just enough for us to spend and only eat restaurants once in a while and still managable even though husband's income is not stable. Hoped everything goes well for you!
