with all the fighting about this topic, I am curious as the the actual demographics on this topic in our group. I added the third option because that is what I do, work the opposite shift of my DH so the kids stay home all day with one parent. if you disagree and think being watched by a family member is more like daycare and less like being at home with a parent, please explain and I will change that.

Working mum, we have a nanny. I guess that's the same as daycare?

I work full time as I can make more money than my husband, he stays at home full time with our daughter (and thus probably works harder than I do!) There are some days I wish I could stay home but our situation works for us.. pretty poor on a single income but we are happy and make it work!
