planning on working

If I ever get the chance to even have a child, I will be a working mother. If we can afford for someone to stay at home, it will be my husband. I make almost twice as much as he does, and have the potential to make more. It makes more sense to have me working and for him to stay home.

Plus, I would be miserable at home. I really do not want any children I may have to feel as if I resented them for any reason. I love my job and the work I do.

I am a paramedic and my husband is a dispatcher. Our odd hours mean that we would only need child care a couple of evenings a week. And we have a wonderful family and network of friends who have repeatedly told us they are more than willing to pitch in if we need it.

My hat goes off to those who can and do stay-at-home. I could never do it. Even as a kid, when the other little girls were playing "house", I was out with the boys playing cops and robbers.
