I hated having my two sons in daycare and after my daughter was born it became much better financially for me to stay home and open a daycare, plus it means I will never have to put my kids in daycare again! Even though I had a pretty good job, I am way better off and happier as well doing this. I don't have any regrets at all although I am only a year in, so I will re-evaluate in a couple of years and decide whether to continue or not once my kids are all in school.
