I too started working full time at 18 and prior to that I babysat almost fulltime. I was FREAKED out at first but I have realized how much chaos we have left behind and I won't go back to it unless completely necessary. I started by switching to part time and then after 6 months I finally made the decision to quit. I have found our quality of life is so much better. We have home cooked meals most nights and it's nice be able to make my husbands life easier by getting most of the chores done so he can spend his home time with our son. Not to mention the fun activities and educational opportunities that are going on in our community for no or little cost. I also have used the Flylady website (free) to help me get the house in shape (Thanks to whoever posted her site, It's a God send). Do I miss the money? Sometimes, but now I have time to budget so it's not as bad as I thought it would be. Our kids only have one childhood and I want my son and future children to remember spending time with me and not a daycare.
Good luck.. but you won't need it, you will be fine.
