I am lucky and thankful. I was not paid for over 3 months, but still appreciate the company has the policy of 3 months leave (guaranteed to have your job back) in addition to government's 12 weeks family leave.

You will have all the wisdom too when you need it.

Hehe, you would change for your baby. I used to have a 2BR apartment for myself without desire for a roommate. LD was even worse. That's why went to the option of dropping baby to somebody else's home. But ...... I guess home is baby's home too, or currently more of his home. He did not like the environment of another family or daycare. He loves the bright sunshine, tons of toys, several spacious playrooms at home.

So a mom does what she supposed to do rather than what she wants to do. I convinced my LG and myself, cause I believe staying at home is the best choice for my baby. You definitely have more control of safety and sanitation at home.

Also think of bonus, with a Chinese nanny, baby gets to learn Chinese first, which is extremely important to us.

i'm in the similar situation,my son is 7 monthes old and now i'm back to work for 2 monthes. it is hard being a work mom. so lucky we have my parents-in-law come over to help. but it is still not easy. i don't have time for myself and when there is time i need to work overtime, i feel so sorry for my son.
