Thanks to all, ya I do spend evenings and weekends with him as first priority meaning take him to early year centre classes where he gets lots of new and dift toys, friends, songs, etc.
I take him to library and get him new books every week end that we read together every evening. We play puzzle, coloring...hes specially fond of playing with utensils..(i wonder why ?
)
He luvs to see stuart little all the time, so we tolerate only that on our tv and let go our programs...
while i am in kitchen , we play the nursery rhymes so we sing along ...or converse with him....
but again hearing from other people that u r not wrong gives assurance....
thanks to all.

Aashu,
I'm a twin mom (a boy and a girl) and trust me this question ate me during my maternity leave but I chose to work. Kids need a support system, I called my MIL, hired a Nanny and got back to work, the first year part time and after that full time. The first thing I want to suggest is that don't pay attention to people who are always making us (Mom's) feel guilty. Mother and babies relationship is very special and I agree with others who say that all kids are different and so are their needs. By reading your second post where you said...you read to him..take him to libraries...sing with him...I feel you are doing a wonderful job. Kids need stimulation and healthy environment and if you feel your day care is able to give that in your absence then why not continue working. I personally feel that if mothers have support from family and caregivers one should continue working.
Its not money (people always comment me what's the greed) but they don't understand that we have also equally worked hard on our education, career and now working for kids, family for their future. My kids are 3.5 yrs and I feel proud when in the morning they wave me and hubby goodbye, they know Mumma/Papa will be back soon!
Hope this helps.....................take care............Jona
Thanks Jonav for inspiring words. It is nice to hear.

There is a book called "the feminine mistake - by Leslie Bennetts". The trend in the US is for many women to quit working after their children are born. This book examines the practicality of women continuing their careers after the baby is born plus also the implications if a person chooses to leave for a few years and then return to the field they are in.
I have considered the same scenario as well..before I have kids. I feel working part time (if its available and financially feasible) may be a good option?
