That's the biggest hurdle I think. Once you have a gap on your resume, it is hard to re-enter the workforce even if you have the time once your child starts school. I guess in that way the stigma still exists here out west too. And you're right, I think having one income is much less stressful. I cannot imagine keeping up with life "stuff" for 2 careers, a baby, household etc.

I guess it depends on where you live. If you get established in a community, it's not that difficult. I've taken a year off of work (twice) to do some personal things and never had trouble getting back in the saddle.
Staying busy doing community stuff helps fill the gap in the resume. Many employers look favorable on that.
