This is what we have done since my first maternity leave expired when my eldest was born (that'll be 5 years ago next March ... ooola!) The only difference in our case is that it's me who works at home and I am employed (public service) so my income is a known quantity for my set hours per week. We did the nanny / babysitter thing 6 hrs a week (2 three-hour mornings) from when the younger one was 6 months old until early last year, when she was 2; since then, it's been me, occasional nanna support, working nights & weekends, and two beautiful kids who are very self-reliant and help me constantly with work and life. (Granted, I do about 2.5 days' worth a week now but until recently it was just under 2 days' worth, a bit less than you). So much do I recommend this way of life that I'm even adding a third child into the mix soon ;-) What a smart move and will benefit all you I am sure.

Good luck. It could quite possibly be one of the best things you ever do! Good luck.

It must be a relief to have settled that. I had to chuckle when you wrote "call me old fashioned". Even though stay at home dads are not a new idea here, in the States you & Rae would still be considered very forward thinking. Good luck with your new ventue Tony.
