I am a working mother, with a husband that is wonderfully supportive but doesn't make enough money to support both of us. I do though. We shared the parental leave - I took 8 months and he took 4 months off. I can tell you now, taking care of a baby was a lot more difficult than going to work. A LOT more difficult. I hope that when the 2nd one comes along, my DH will want to stay at home with both of them, because we could not afford 2 x daycare fees... And in no way will I think that he did not earn the money or that he doesn't deserve access to all the money I will be making, because even though I loved being at home, I found it very exhausting. Anyway, if you want to go to Thailand, you should just pick up and go. It's a wonderful country and I hope to go back there again. People are so kind and accomodating and generous. Food is fantastic. I went there for 2 months in 2005, when I didn't have my son, but I think going there with a child is doable. Airplane rides are tough, but worth it.
