I don't know what I'd do if I had a husband who had "discouraged" me from being home. They've been changing things at work and we took a pay cut last year, so I decided to get myself back into school. He was supportive of that too, knowing that if I was comfortable with 2-3 hours of preschool for the youngest then it would be fine.
I used to work in day care and I'm pretty aware of the undercurrents. Last year's program (at the college) was fantastic. I'm still feeling out and watching the new place.
