I have always wanted to be a stay at home mom. Even when I was younger (like high school) I wanted to stay home at take care of the kids and the house while my husband took care of the money. I don't mind working, in high school and the beginning of college I worked 3 jobs, but I wouldn't if I had the choice. Having said that, I recently went back to work. I worked at a local coffee shop for just over 3 weeks. I loved the job but had to quit because 8 the end I was losing money by working. After we paid the baby sitter I was bringing home $60 on a good week. Then I got a letter from the state saying that because I was working they were going to cut our health and food benifits. So I was giving up $400 to bring home (if I was lucky) $240. Yeah, that did not work for me. Needless to say I am now a stay at home parent again. I went back to work to get ahead in our bills but because of a flaw in the system I ended up in a bigger hole than I started with.
