Working or Taking Care of little one..

mommies, would you rather be working after your maternity or resign your job just to stay with your little one? I feel like if I go to work, I will miss the milestones of my baby and will be terribly missing her.. my mil volunteer to take care the baby while I go to work.. but she said I must take a maid to help her with the chores as she cant handle as a single person.. while me and husband thinks that it is waste money spending for a maid. Apart of me suggested that I should stop working and taking care of my daughter..
