My husband was worried about the mess initially, and he still gets a little irritated when he steps in a small pile of sand, or finds cracker crumbs on his socks, but he's pretty good about it. He knows this is what I want - to provide care for children while I provide the amount of love and care I want for my own son. Plus, is makes sense for us financially. Even if I only have two kids, I still take home more than I would if I worked out of the house and paid for childcare
