Cloth diapering and home cooked meals are still do-able with a babysitter. But the 100% BFing is going to be tough as my supply is just enough for her feeds and I don't have excess to pump out. :S Flexi-hours are possible then again, who would want to give out a work permit for someone who works flexi-hours or part-time? :/

If you love taking care of Eva full-time, it is certainly a tough decision to return to work. In my case, it would definitely be financially better to return to work; but we choose to let the non-financial benefits outweigh other considerations. Having me as a full-time mother and educator means I get to provide my boy (and future children) with the necessary mental stimulation and family values, which are extremely important in the first few years. For instance, full-time cloth-diapering, breastfeeding (without supplementary milk feeds) and home-cooked meals are more achievable when I am at home.
