I do believe in staying home until your child is about three, but 2 days/week is not a full-time job at all. Working full time means having to shop, clean, do laundry, etc., etc. as well as spending quality time with Aiden and with Brenden. Two days/week is very different!
I worked 2 days/week when Jessie was about a year old. I needed some time to be myself, use my brains, talk to adults, and feel some freedom. I was a single parent at the time. The money helped a lot too! I found a wonderful little day care center near home, and Jessie loved it there. She got to play, and got used to different adults caring for her. My father picked her up and I would meet them at my house.
Follow your heart!
