Does it really make sense to decide to have a baby and then farm him out to a child minder at great expense, when you could manage on one income and enjoy your child and bring him/her up with your values? Decide which one of you is to earn the living and let the other one be a full time parent. It is worth it even if you have to rent a house rather than buy one. When you are buying a house you only have the illusion that it belongs to you. Why not rent, then the state of the property is the landlord's responsibility? I am convinced that if you think through the situation you will find that the one at home can learn for you all to live frugally, in exchange for the immense pleasure of your child/children's company. You will benefit and so will society with one more dependable young citizen.
Oh what about the career? You may not keep your expected promotion but you will be a happier person and you will have plenty of time for you later on.
