she already does most of the cleaning so i don't think there'd be any added expectations on her part. if she decided to stay home, the added responsibility would be taking care of the kids all day. we would still share the load with cooking and running errands or whatever but being home with the kids everyday would be enough of a load. plus it would save us a ton in child care.
we're not quite there yet but it's something we've discussed as a possibility. she's got a state job though so her retirement benefits might be worth keeping her working.
