I quit my full time job the moment we were placed with our first placement. I just couldn't imagine not being there for her as she was only 3 weeks old and I personally grew up in daycare myself so I did not want to do that to my kids and vowed to myself at an early age that I wouldn't.

My DH still works full time and because we're military we have the benefit of living in base housing without the cost of utilities and such, which is mighty helpful, so we're not in any sort of financial dilemma's due to my not working and I haven't regretted a minute of being here for both our little ones.
