    I have been off since early August and my FMLA expires at the end of the year. I had every intention of returning to work two days a week, my MIL offered to watch the babies two days a week and I figured we could use the extra money. After discussing with my husband I have made the decision to stay at home full time, I love being home with the babies and think that going back to work even two days right now would add more stress than its worth. Also, I'm not sure how having my MIL at my home with the babies two days a week would effect our relationship, we get along ok but I'm afraid that I would have to compromise on certain things and I just don't want to put myself in that position, KWIM? I will probably go back to work when the babies go to school but right now I just want to concentrate on being a thier mom.

    Congratulations! I stay at home with my girls and teach one day a week, which for me is a perfect balance. You have made a wonderful decision for your children [​IMG]
