I want to go back to work after delivering my child, but my mother in laws says I should stay home and take care of my child. I do agree with her that for a certain period of time I should be home with my child but when is an appropriate time to leave my child to go back to work?

If $$ is not an issue, be a stay at home mum as you can see your child growing up stage which is very precious. They are only young once. I've never this experience cos until my last child whom have made me realized the importance of seeing them grow up. The joy is truly explainable. You will definitely enjoy this. Having said that, this is a major decision and therefore, please discuss with your husband about it.
