How long when you're not sure?

I had typed out a long response, but it got eaten by cyberspace! Basically I think you have to do some soul searching and really decide if this is worth it for you. While I had smoe ups and downs in my first year, I never felt like it wasn't challenging me in the right ways and the more I do it the more excited and passionate I get about it...I am excited to learn more, do more, and grow my knowledge and experience (which is why I am always on this forum). If you are not feeling that passion, it is totally understandable as your passion probably lies somewhere else. So I guess you ahve to decide if you want to continue in a job you are not passionate about nor excited about in order to stay home with your son...or do soemthing else, but possibly not be able to stay home and homeschool your son. The third option of course, is to somehow find some passion in daycare and find ways to actually make it exciting and challenging for you (maybe take some workshops...I find they always get me revved up). Good luck with your decision making process!
