Advantages: So many pros and cons

Disadvantages: So many pros and cons

Such an emotive topic.
I'm a WAHM (Work at Home Mum). I worked in a very rewarding career before I pregnant with my son and alwyas intended to go back to work after maternity leave ended, that is until I'd had him! As a family we decided I wouldn't go back and would find a way to work from home.
So far it has been the best and most rewarding and most tiring and stressful time of my life!!

For my family it has been the best decision we could have made. Do I have doubts sometimes - would k have been better of with the increased interaction he'd have got in a nursery five days a week? Do women with children in childcare worry their children are missing out on the bonding and time spent at home? Of course - as parents we always worry that the choices we make for our familes are the right one but any studies aside, each family has to do what is best for their own - there is no wrong way, and good luck to all!

Summary: My take on the age old question of which way is the best way.
