if the money is right since you're considering staying home at the moment, why don't you try having a small business ( at the same time helping our own people ) and be with your kid , i mean you have the flexibility of everything .
then you don't have to go to US to work and leave your family once again .
just make sure thaT the small business has a potential to support the family .
that's my view since i've been running my business for more than 10 years now , and i even had my wife to manage the front line . i mean the office . she's been taking care of the kids at the same time , more flexibility .
AND WE CAN'T AFFORD TO HIRE A MAID HERE IN CANADA .
