Most caregivers, while they may enjoy children, cannot give a mother's love. More and more studies are being done on the importance of young children having that hourly contact with mom. Now look at your paychecks minus expenses. There are exercises in this book that can help you figure what you and your husband, both working outside the home, are actually making each month.
Some couples even find they are losing money because of daycare costs, taxes, commuting, etc.
