Nope. Though I would like to stay home and concentrate on being a mom and a writer, my DH and I have over $100k in student loans. Stupid grad school  .

Re: Thirsty Thrusday QOTD!**!**
I wish I had the option to stay home-
but we need my benefits and 401k (I work for a major company), DH has his own practice-we both make good salaries, but I have the steady consistent income.
I will look into shortening my hours to 30 hours/week which is still considered full time.
We'll see.
DH is off on Tues and Thursday, I'm off Sat & Sundays-so we will really only need help on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays. Which isn't so bad

I'm a stay at home wife now  So yes, I will be a SAHM. Once the LO's are in school full time I will probably get something part time just to keep busy.

Re: Thirsty Thrusday QOTD!**!**
I am torn - I would think I would like to - but I feel that I would actually miss working. Maybe for the first few years I will stay home, but then I will need a job once they are in school!

Re: Thirsty Thrusday QOTD!**!**
Since I am already a SAHM to my DD once #2 comes along I plan on continuing to stay home with my children. Being home was something DH and I had agreed on years and years and years ago. No matter how hard it's been financially giving up my income it's been SO, SO, SO worth it. I would rather do without then have to go to work every day and not be with my sweet little Emerson. I don't miss teaching one bit and I LOVE every second that I've spent at home with my DD. Best decision I ever made.

Im running out of questions here....lol
When you have your LO do you plan on staying home with him/her?
I always said I wanted to but I have been doing so well at work its kind of hard to think about leaving...im torn....I would love to spend time with my LO b/c when I was young my mother was working 2 jobs and I am thankful I got to spend time with my grandmother...who watched me....but thinking about my child being watched by my MIL makes me sick! lol
OMG, the same exact thought makes me sick too!! My mom will be down in North Carolina by the time we have a LO around.
ETA: I totally missed the point of the QOTD!! OOPS! I'm a teacher, so it really does depend. I would love to try to coordinate it so I can tack on the summer, but who knows?!

Re: Thirsty Thrusday QOTD!**!**
Nope, I'll be a working Mom. I have the larger salary, so it wouldn't work financially. And while I would LOVE to stay home with our kids, I think I'd miss working.

Re: Thirsty Thrusday QOTD!**!**
I will probably take a year off from work...all depends on when LO was born. We'll see when we have kids what will ultimately happen.
