So, I'm sitting here thinking-wow- I could possibly be preggers in 4 or 5 months. Then, my next thought flashed to- ok, so who’s going to take care of this kid once it’s born? FH and I both have to work (unfortunately) and my mom has already said she’s not going to do it (even though she’s prob only messing with me). What do you girls plan on doing?

I would LOVE to work from home. If i cant figure out how to do that than its going to be up to FH (he is a fireman so he can have 3 days in a row off) & a babysitter. Possibly also some help from his parents too.
we will be waiting a few years but with a mortgage (with the eventual house we hope to buy) we could not afford it on just one salary so we will probably look for someone to watch our kid
I want to have kids soon after we get married, and I want to stay home, but the problem with being a teacher is that you can only take 1-2 years leave, depending on your district....so I either have to decide to give up my job and stay home, or put my child in day care after a year or two...When I think about it, it tears me up inside knowing how hard I worked to get where I am, and how much I want a family...
I am self-employed with flexible hours and my mother will be around to help too.
We are lucky enough that our fields usually offer free or discounted day cares at the places we will work. We originally didn't plan on trying for quite a few years, but boy does married life change that! We might try sooner (but not now!) :).
FH and I want to try and get preggers in Aug/Sept so this way the baby will be due when my mom is done with the school year next year and then she can come spend the whole summer with us (And hopefully look for a house down here). And I really do not want to be 9 months preggers in Aug here, lol.
We aren't planning to have a baby until about 6-6.5 years from now...so at that point, I am hoping that FH makes enough + I have enough freelance jobs that I can stay at home and freelance several days. I don't know if I could stay at home ALL the time though..but my Mom doesn't work, so she can watch the baby. My Dad probably isn't going to retire, but if he does, he would watch the baby too. FH's parents are a little young, so I don't think they will be retired yet.
We aren't planning to start trying for a couple of years, but when the time does come we are very lucky that my mother and her boyfriend live right downstairs and her boyfriend works from home. Also FMIL only works part-time. I am also currently trying to start up my own business where I can do the majority of the work from home.
