Emily apart from saving on day care costs you are getting to enjoy your baby grow. Several first moments would be missed if your baby was in day care and you were at work. Kids grow up fast and they become so independent before you know it. The baby stage in life comes for only a little while. Enjoy it as you still make ends meet and save by working from home. Yeah there are spillovers, but consider this, if you are at the office and your nanny faces a problem at home, she would call you. You have to deal with it. Just because you are away at a workplace different from home, it does not mean Homefront is not your concern. As a matter of fact it concerns both you and your husband and someone needs deal with it. Who ultimately does it is a matter of understanding between the two of you.
