We are actually planning on selling our home due to daycare. We live in the country and actually know a wonderful woman who would provide great daycare at a reasonable price - however, we would still be leaving the little one in someone elses care for 11 hours a day and both my wife and I find this unacceptable. So we will move back to the city for a few years, to an apartment and reduce our commute time to nil giving us more time with her. We will also be making adjustments re: full time versus part time work. Yes, financially we take a hit for a couple of years (at least til she is of school age) but we feel it is critical for us to spend as much time as possible with her during those formative years.
